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.
