Pythagorean theorem box

thingiverse

I made this box demonstrating the pythagorean theorem for a colleague who teaches mathematics. I guess students could build and design the box themselves. How I Designed This It was made with 5 mm thick HDF wood on a laser cutter. I joined 2 different .svg files, the design is almost identical, but the one with the "modif" word in it has the side pannels joining together. The dimensions of the rectangular triangles is based on the standard 3-4-5 rectangular triangle, I drew 9 cm - 12 cm - 15 cm rectangular triangles so the student measure them easily. I used regular wood glue to hold the parts together. Feel free to modify and improve! Materials Needed 5 mm thick HDF wood 40 cm x 30 cm is well sufficient to build this. Wood glue
