Why would give me a disagree when I was trying to help?. I am not sure what you are after. There are proofs of the Pythagorean theorem all over the internet.

Here is a proof I always liked using Differential Equations. I just remembered this one from way back. It can most likely be found on the web as well.

By noting how the change is a side changes the hypoteneuse.

$\frac{da}{dc}=\frac{c}{a}$

Separate variables:

$cdc=ada$

Integrate:

$c^{2}=a^{2}+K$

If a=0, then b=c.

So the constant is $b^{2}$

$a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}$
