Abstract
- The article offers information on a proof of the Law of Cosines using squares constructed on sides of the triangle. It discusses the configuration consisting of the original triangle and the triangle defined by the centers of these squares. It mentions that the Law of Cosines is a direct generalization of Euclid's proof of the Pythagorean Theorem.
