Question

(2)
State and prove 'Pythagoras Theorem'.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras Theorem Proof

Given: A right-angled triangle ABC.

To Prove- AC2 = AB2 + BC2

Pythagoras Theorem Proof

Proof: First, we have to drop a perpendicular BD onto the side AC

We know, △ADB ~ △ABC

Therefore, ADAB=ABAC (Condition for similarity)

Or, AB2 = AD × AC ……………………………..……..(1)

Also, △BDC ~△ABC

Therefore, CDBC=BCAC (Condition for similarity)

Or, BC2= CD × AC ……………………………………..(2)

Adding the equations (1) and (2) we get,

AB2 + BC2 = AD × AC + CD × AC

AB2 + BC2 = AC (AD + CD)

Since, AD + CD = AC

Therefore, AC2 = AB2 + BC2

Hence, the Pythagorean thoerem is proved.
