That's proof if I've ever seen it.
There you have it ladies and gentlemen: the Pythagorean theorem has been proven false.

I probably made a mistake and the casios might be flawed. Can someone point out the flaw? Its an interesting problem

You need to use a coordinate system. That's your problem.
That and you need a program for plotting graphs.

Can you please give an exact statement of what you're trying to disprove? Additionally, since your diagram isn't very precise (i.e. lines aren't straight, angles aren't exact, circles aren't uniform), I would hesitate to use specific values calculated from the diagram to provide your counterexample.

I should clearify. Consider a table with a thumbtack through the center of a cardboard circle. Now have a ruberband tied to a distand point and with its other end conected to the edge of the circle. Initially the circle is oriented so the ruber band crosses the circle and has length a. By rotating the circle so that the ruberband becomes tangent to the circle, the length of the band will be less than a.
