a^2 + b^2 = c^2 .... I like this demonstration a lot more than I should for someone who hates math so much.

We have this thing at my school but with sand instead of liquid.

This is great! Why didn't they show us this when we learned the pythagorean theorem?

Not necessarily, although it's an interesting use of theory it's used for distance more than volume

Like the first comment said, it's showing A squared + B squared = C squared. The demo has nothing to do with volume, that's just an easy way to show that the area of the squares from the legs, equal the area of the square from the hypotenuse.

true, but from the title it was being stated as what the theorem shows you; not a visualization of why it works

Yes, the title says that, and its showing you that A squared plus B squared equals C squared, through using colored water, (which yes, is technically volume), to represent the area of the smaller squares. So I don't know what you're going on about.
