Change reference to Garfield's proof of Pythagorean theorem in top section to hyperlink to main page describing proof. 47.187.113.88 ( talk) 01:55, 13 March 2024 (UTC) reply

 Done I added the link to the text "notable proof" so that readers can easily access both his proof and the main Pythagorean theorem page. Jamedeus ( talk) 02:05, 13 March 2024 (UTC) reply
