Einstein did not provide a proof of the Pythagorean theorem. The theorem was actually discovered by the ancient Greek mathematician Pythagoras. It states that in a right-angled triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.
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.
How about the Pythagorean Theorem? Named after Pythagoras of Samos.
by the greek mathematician and philosopher 'Pythagoras'.
The purpose of the Pythagorean theorem in mathematics is to calculate the length of the sides of a right-angled triangle. It helps in finding the unknown side lengths by using the relationship between the squares of the triangle's sides.
The Pythagorean theorem was used in ancient times to calculate the lengths of sides in right-angled triangles, which helped in solving geometric problems and designing architectural structures with precise measurements.
The Pythagorean theorem gets its name from the ancient Greek mathematician Pythagoras. He was one of the first to offer proof of the theorem.
A visual proof of the Pythagorean theorem, claimed to have been devised by the great genius of the Renaissance, Leonardo da Vinci.
James Garfield
The Pythagorean theorem is named after the Greek mathematician Pythagoras, who by tradition is credited with its discovery and proof, although it is often argued that knowledge of the theorem predates him.
The Pythagorean theorem uses the right triangle.
Oh yes, the Pythagorean Theorem has been proven.
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.
Although the Pythagorean theorem (sums of square of a right angled triangle) is called a theorem it has many mathematical proofs (including the recent proof of Fermats last theorem which tangentially also prooves Pythagorean theorem). In fact Pythagorean theorem is an 'axiom', a kind of 'super law'. It doesn't matter if anyone does oppose it, it is one of the few fundamental truths of the universe.

the standard form of the Pythagorean Theorem is :a2 + b2 = c2
You can use pythagorean theorem twice to find the diagonal of a cube
The Pythagorean theorem is a2 + b2 = c2
