Which US President proved the Pythagorean theorem in a new way?
James A. Garfield, the twentieth president of the United States, discovered an original proof of the Pythagorean theorem. The proof is algebraic in nature and uses the formula for the area of a trapezoid. See the link below for details. Garfield is credited with an original proof of this famous theorem. Many of the presidents undoubtedly proved it in geometry class after studying their books.

What does Pythagoras most famous proof state?
Pythagoras most famous proof is the pythagorean proof . It states that in a right angled triangle , the square of hypoteneus ( the longest side of the triangle ) is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides .
Why does the Pythagorean Theorem work in general?
For a number of proofs see: http://www.cut-the-knot.org/pythagoras/ Proof 6 seems to be the most straightforward.
Did James Garfield prove the Pythagorean theorem?
I don't think I could make the proof clear without a diagram, so you must check the related links to read it. I will say that it is algebraic in nature and is based on knowing how to find the area of a trapezoid. The first link is a student link and may not stay up for long. The second link contains several proofs of the Pythagorean theorem and you will have to hunt in it to find Garfield's proof, but it is there.
