length of a + length of b = length of c
length of a + length of b = length of c
The four yellow triangles on the left all have the same area as the four yellow triangles on the right (a+b/2) - therefore, the two small green squares on the left have to have the same area as the large green square on the right.

The length of a is the same as the length of c - (a+b).
The length of a is the same as the length of c - (a+b).
The area of both large squares are equal; so the triangles with the square(s) must have a total area that is equal to each other.

The yellow triangles have an area of a x b, which would = c

    Yes, that is correct. A triangle with side lengths of 2, 3, and 5 could form a right triangle according to the Pythagorean Theorem (2^2 + 3^2 = 4 + 9 = 13 = 5^2).
