Moving on a little, if D is superposed onto A, then its image D' = A lies on AB, and the "triangle" referred to appears to have zero area. Might this submission have benefitted from more careful presentation?
Gosh, I was hoping someone would grab a piece of 8.5 by 11 and actually do it. The image of BD (under the folding map) is the broken line forming the hypotenuse and one side of the triangle. This of course only gives the "shape" of the Pyth. triple, which is all one could expect. dg
