Given -
ABC is an isosceles triangle with AC = BC. AB² = 2AC²
To Prove -
ABC is a right angled triangle.
That is, ∠C = 90°
Proof -
AB² = 2AC² - (Given)
AB² = AC² + AC²
AB² = AC² + BC² - (As AC = BC)
Thus, AB is the largest side ie the Hypotenuse.
By the Converse of Pythagoras theorem,
∠C = 90°
Hence its a right angle triangle.
