The objective of this article is to highlight how captivating and transcendent the Pythagorean theorem is, as well as, how striking and beautiful it is to go beyond verifying that it is true only for squares built on the sides of a right triangle; and that, it ceases to be perceived as a simple formula that is recited mechanically and coldly. Two famous proofs of this theorem are presented, then this theorem is extended to equilateral triangles, regular hexagons, and semicircles until it is generalized to all regular polygons.
