@pickover Nice! I think this is even better to see y=sqrt(x) !
Explain why for every even integer n, sqrt(n) can be read at the intersection of two semi-circles.

@PaulaKrieg@geogebra Same here... Twitter has gone so wrong I hardly come over here anymore but I do miss the good ole days where math/arty people would share their ideas and chat about it.
Like an hour ago, my kids decided they were mathematicians and began a series of investigations (on their own).
1+2+⋯+10=55
11+12+⋯+20=155
21+22+⋯+30=255
etc.
They conjectured the general theorem. Pretty exciting.
A nice proof without words of the Pythagorean Theorem by Abu' l'Hasan Thâbit ibn Qurra Marwân al'Harrani (826-901) with 6 congruent 📐.
The total area 𝓐 can be seen in two ways :
1⃣ 𝓐=🟥+ 3 📐
2⃣ 𝓐=🟩+🟦+3📐
So 🟥=🟩+🟦

5-stars were commonly used on the ceilings of tombs and other buildings in Ancient Egypt to depict the heavens. They are usually not connected to one another, but they are connected in this ceiling in the Ptolemaic Denderah Temple to form a sort of tessellation.
@_Manuel_Ruiz_@jamestanton Nice. It's surprising at first because from this figure you could think T(2n)=4Tn but when you try to do it with the dots, it doesn't work...
@mnd233445 The areas of the three triangles can be measured as fractions of ABC's area S:
a=S/15,
b=S×3/20,
c=S/6.
S(1-1/15-3/20-1/6)=37cm².
Solve for S.
1-(4+9+10)/60=37/60.
S=60.
