abc is a isosceles triangle right angle at c . find AB²
Answers
correct question : ABC is an isosceles triangle, right angled at C. Prove that AB^2 =2AC^2
ANSWER :
In △ABC,
By Pythagoras Theorem,
(AB)^2 =(AC) ^2
+(BC) ^2 .....(1)
Since, △ABC is an isosceles triangle,
∴ AC=BC....(2)
∴ From (1) and (2),
(AB)^2 =2(AC) ^2
[hence proved]
Answer:
Given : △ABC is right angle , Also △ ABC is isosceles.
To prove : AB² = 2AC²
Poof : Here,
Hypotenuse = AB
Also we know that △ABC is iscoceles
Hence, AC = AC
Using Pythagoras theorem in △ACB
Hypotenuse² = Height² + Base²
AB² = AC² + BC²
AB² = AC² + AC² [ As AC = BC ]
AB² = 2AC²
Hence proved
