How do I read this?

We're historians, not mind-readers. What's the context? It looks like a proof of the Pythagorean theorem to me, but that's just because I think all overlapping triangles look like those.

I'm sorry, this is /r/askhistorians, and your questions really need to be about history. I'm not saying that this isn't about history. Rather, you gave us very little context about what it is you're asking.
