QUESTION :-

ABC is an issoseles triangle and angle B = 90°. Then show that AC² = 2 times AB

SOLUTION :-

Given that,

ABC is an isosceles triangle

angle B = 90°

By Pythagoras theorem

AC² = AB² + BC²

AC² = AB² + AB² (AC = BC)

AC² = 2AB²

Hence Proved

Correct Question :-

ABC is an issoseles triangle and angle B = 90°. Then show that AC² = 2 AB².

Given -

ABC  \: is \: isosceles \: triangle \: and \:  \angle \: B= 90 \degree

To prove -

AC² = 2AB²

Solution :-

</u><u>In</u><u>\:  \triangle \: </u><u>ABC</u><u> \: </u><u>,</u><u> \angle \: </u><u>B</u><u> \:  = 90 \degree

Since, ∆ABC is an isosceles triangle

therefore, AB = BC

We know that

Two sides of isosceles triangle are equal.

By using Pythagoras theorem

Sum of square of two sides of a triangle is equal to square of third side.

In right triangle ABC

AC² = AB² + BC²

AC² = AB²+ AB² (since , AB = BC)

AC² = 2AB²

Hence proved
