should we prove it using dimentional formula ?

If you mean dimension wise,
As we know Energy=Joules/Second or M¹L²T`²
This will be RHS, now we if if it is dimensionally correct we would have to prove R.H.S=L.H.S
For L.H.S
mass=M
g= acceleration =L¹T`²
v= dist/time= L¹T`¹
Adding as per question
[M][LT`²][L] + (ignore 1/2 cause its constant) [M][LT`1]
==> [M²L³T`³]
since R.H.S ≠L.H.S
*its not accurate*
(`) is used instead of (-) Sorry.

Explanation:
E =ML2T-2 (energy)
m =M. (mass)
g=LT-2. (acceleration due to gravity)
h=L. (height)
I= ML2. ( momentum of inertia)
W=T-1. (angular velocity)
[ML2T-2] = [MxLT-2xL]+ [ML2xT-2]
[ML2T-2]= [ML2T-2]. (only same dimensions can be added and subtract)
LHS=RHS
