Draw a right triangle ABC right angled at B.
We need to prove that AC2 = AB2 + BC2
Let us draw BD ⊥ AC
Theorem: If a perpendicular is drawn from the vertex of the right angle of a right triangle to the hypotenuse then triangles on both sides of the perpendicular are similar to the whole triangle and to each other.

So, $$frac{AD}{AB}$ = $\frac{AB}{AC}$$Sides are proportional)
AD × AC = AB2 ------ 1
Also ΔBDC ∼ ΔABC (Theorem)
So, $$frac{CD}{BC}$ = $\frac{BC}{AC}$$Sides are proportional)
CD × AC = BC2 ------ 2
AD × AC + CD × AC = AB2 + BC2
AC(AD + CD) = AB2 + BC2
AC × AC = AB2 + BC2
AC2 = AB2 + BC2
