Visual Proof of the Irrationality of Certain Numbers

Certain theorems in number theory or algebra may involve logical arguments that are not easily understood by high school students. Some work has been done in recent decades to prove such theorems without using any written statement, i.e. with only a self-explanatory diagram. One needs only a little hint to discover the proof from the diagram himself. The research aims to discover more such proofs of theorems, especially the more important ones like the irrationality of root 2. Then we can consider further extending the proof to other irrational numbers based on this method.
