Why is Pythagoras theorem only a theory that can not be proven?

It can be proven to an extent but if the sides of a right angle triangle are equal in length then using Pythagoras' theorem is impossible to exactly find the length of its hypotenuse which will always be an irrational number that can't be determined.It is a theorem, not a theory. They are not the same. A theorem is shown to be true based on axioms, what is already known to be true. It does not need to be proven using a scientific method.
