I am looking for simple plans for a geometry exhibit The Square of the
Hypotenuse which demonstrates the Pythagorean Theorem. In this exhibit there
is a right triangle with liquid-filled transparent boxes on all three sides.
As the unit rotates, it is shown that as the box on the hypotenuse drains,
the liquid completely fills the two boxes on the legs of the right angle. I
have seen this in several places, and now am looking for specific plans from
which to build it.

Please send on any information you can.  Many thanks.
