Proof of pythagorean theorem. (except string diagram)

Euclid's projective theorem)

As shown in figure 1, when Rt△ABC, ∠ ABC = 90, BD is the Qualcomm on the hypotenuse AC. It is proved that triangles are similar and have the following projective theorems: (1) (BD) 2; =AD DC,(2)(AB)2; =AD AC,(3)(BC)2; =CD AC. From formula (2)+(3): (ab) 2; +(BC)2; = AD AC+CD AC =(AD+CD)AC =(AC)2; , figure 1 is (ab) 2; +(BC)2; =(AC)2, which is the conclusion of Pythagorean theorem.
