Step-by-step explanation:
ABC is a triangle
ABC is a triangleAC² =AB² + BC²
.
To prove:- ∠B=90°
Construction:- Construct a triangle PQR right angled at Q such that, PQ=AB and QR=BC
Proof:-
In △PQR
PR² = PQ² + QR²
(By pythagoras theorem)
⇒PR² = PQ² + QR²
.
.....(1)(∵AB=PQ and QR=BC) (figure)
AC² =AB² + BC²
.....(2)(Given)
From equation (1)&(2), we have
AC² = PR²
so
AC = PR.....(3)
.
.
Now, in △ABC and △PQR
AB=PQ
BC=QR
AC=PR(From (3))
.
.
∴△ABC≅△PQR (By SSS congruency)
Therefore, by C.P.C.T.,
∠B=∠Q
∠B=∠Q∵∠Q=90°
∠B=∠Q∵∠Q=90°∴∠B=90°
Hence proved.
