Abstract
An interesting extract from Ramanujan’s notebooks which makes for a great classroom exercise in geometry, with a dash of algebra thrown in. An enterprising teacher could do this proof in stages — starting from showing students the figure and asking them to prove the theorem; if they can’t, providing them with enough scaffolding to help them complete the proof
