ABSTRACT
This paper proposes an elegant and simple proof of Pythagoras’ Theorem. The proof starts by rotating the non-hypotenuse shorter side on an arc towards the other non-hypotenuse side, then computing a value, x, which starts as a negative value, but inc…

…reases as the rotation happens. When that value hits zero, the identity is at hand. However, although the proposed work provides a fresh perspective on Pythagoras’ Theorem, it is not complete. Further suggestions to complete the proof are proposed.
