By first calculating what the hypotenuse should be then measuring it to see if it is

One simple way to prove Pythagorean theorem is to use geometric mean of a right triange.
Let a, b be the legs and c be the hypotenuse. Draw a altitude from the right angle. The altitude cut the hypotenuse into x and c-x.
By geometric mean of legs,
a^2 = cx
b^2 = c(c-x)
a^2+b^2 = cx+c(c-x) = c^2
End

In the first color episode.. Walt Disney did he did a whole segment on him and the pentagram, how it is in all architecture developed by the Grecians, and nature. see if you can find it , the second part of the segment is all on mathematics, which he shows are all in the same. I t is very interesting and brought to life. you can also go to .Crystal Links Metaphysics, and you will find much info in the.. A to Z glossary.

No need to prove. Its been proven, thats why its a theorem, and we use it.

There's a very simple proof.
