Show that the four red triangles around the smaller 
purplish-blue square in the middle are all congruent 
right triangles by side-angle-side.  Then CPCT shows
that the four red hypotenuses are congruent.  Then use the
fact that the two acute angles of a right triangle are 
complementary to show that four interior angles of the
larger square-to-be-proved are right angles.
