Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Upper/right red and blue part: Geometric construction of the square x2 of a given length x and the unit length 1, using the Pythagorean theorem. If a and b and c denotes the length of the blue triangle's short and long cathetus and hypotenuse, respectively, then a2=x2+1, and b2=x4+x2. Hence, c2=a2+b2=x4+2x2+1=(x2+1)2, so c-1=x2.
Lower left green and yellow part: Applying the same construction in reverse order obtains a length of x, given x and the unit length: If d and e and f and g denotes the length of the yellow triangle's short and long cathetus and hypotenuse and height (dotted line), respectively, then d2=g2+1 and e2=x2+g2. Hence x2+2x+1=(x+1)2=f2=d2+e2=x2+2g2+1, so g=x.
