What do Euclid, 12-year-old Einstein, and American President James Garfield have in common? They all came up with elegant proofs for the famous Pythagorean theorem, one of the most fundamental rules of geometry and the basis for practical applications like constructing stable buildings and triangulating GPS coordinates. Betty Fei details these three famous proofs. Lesson by Betty Fei, directed by Nick Hilditch

Using Alkashy theorem in right angled triangle 90 having two adjascent sides a and b and the opposite side as c, c2 = a2+ b2 - 2 a b cos theta as cos 90 is zero and hence a2+ b2 = c2 proving pythsorean theorem.

Pythagoras copied Baudhayan theorem which was given by Indian mathematician Baudhayan 1000 BC. European's was cheated India. You are fraud. Baudhayan was much older than great grand father of cheater Pythagoras.

I also proved it at exatly 12, but my proof was not new. Doesn't mean that I'm the next Einstein, but If I am, everyone will tell the story. In short: People Idolize!

In secondary school, our teacher just drew a right angled triangle and then compared the lengths with a ruler to prove it. Does this count as a proof?

Pythagoras theorem was first discovered by an indian sage Baudhayan during 800 B. C.
Approximately 300 years before Pythagoras birth!

Well done to all 3 of those people (btw I forgot their names but they were very important) and 350 proves of the Pythagoreas Theorm

When 4 hypotenuse come together doesn't that make c4 and not c2, well that worked for 2 sides of a and b to become a 2 and b2
