Pythagoras' corner (Posted on 2017-06-16) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Slice off the corner of a right rectangular prism so that the result is a tetrahedron with three right triangular faces mutually perpendicular to each other. The fourth face is a triangle formed by the hypotenuses.

Prove: The sum of the squares of the areas of the three right triangles is equal to the square of the area of the fourth.
