There are several temples in India that are believed to have the shortest proof of the Pythagorean theorem, such as the Chennakesava Temple in Belur and the Meenakshi Amman Temple in Madurai. However, the exact proof varies depending on the temple and the time period in which it was constructed. Some theories suggest that the builders of these ancient temples used the Pythagorean theorem in their architecture, while others claim that the proof was inscribed on the walls or pillars of the temples. Unfortunately, there is no definitive answer as to which temple has the shortest proof of the Pythagorean theorem. Regardless, it is fascinating to see how this mathematical concept has been incorporated into the design and construction of these ancient temples, showcasing the advanced knowledge and skills of the architects and builders of that time.
