Question

48. Which of the following is incorrect with respect to Pythagoras theorem? (a) It is applicable to right angled triangle. (b) It is also known as Baudhayan theorem. (c)The square of hypotenuse is equal to the sum of square of other two sides. (d) It is applicable to all type of triangle.​

Answer 1

Option (d) It is applicable to all types of triangles is incorrect with respect to the Pythagoras theorem.

Step-by-Step Explanation:

Pythagoras Theorem states that “In a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse side is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides".

Therefore,

Option (A) It is applicable to the right-angled triangle is true, as per the statement.

Option (B) It is also known as Baudhayan theorem is also true, as this theorem was given by the Indian mathematician and religious writer Baudhayāna.

Option (C) The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides is true, as the theorem states: $h^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2}$

where h= hypotenuse a, b= perpendicular sides of the triangle
