There are several different proofs on the web page below.

I remember visiting another web page with about fifty different proofs, but I can't find it again.

pythagoras theorem - ABsquare+ BCsquare=ACsquare
and only for right angled triangles
hehehe the simplest and the most easiest[ childish ] proof is-
let AB=3and BC= 4 and AC=5
AB square=9 and BCsquare=16
ABsq.+BCsq.=9+16=25=ACsq.
hence the theorem is proved isnt it? hehehe

we can use vectors

assume we have vector AC perpendicular to vector AB
BC^2 = (vector BC)^2 = (vectorAC - vectorAB)^2
= (vectorAB)^2 + (vectorAC)^2 - 2(vectorAB)(vectorAC)
= AB^2 + AC^2 - 2 AB*AC*cos BAC
= AB^2 + AC^2 (cosBAC = 0 )
