The video reviews a proof of the Pythagorean theorem, which states that the sum of the squares of the two legs of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse. The problem involves determining which of four statements about three squares is true. After analyzing each statement, the video demonstrates that the sum of the areas of squares A and B equals the area of square C, thus proving the theorem. The video also guides viewers through a hands-on activity to visualize the proof using paper squares.
