Hello buddy..... ✌
Answer:
The converse of the Pythagorean Theorem is:
- If the square of the length of the longest side of a triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides, then the triangle is a right triangle.
- That is, in ΔABC, if c2=a2+b2 then ∠C is a right triangle, ΔPQR being the right angle.
We can prove this by contradiction.
- Let us assume that c2=a2+b2 in ΔABC and the triangle is not a right triangle.
- Now consider another triangle ΔPQR. We construct ΔPQR so that PR=a, QR=b and ∠R is a right angle.
By the Pythagorean Theorem,
- (PQ)2=a2+b2.
But we know that a2+b2=c2 and a2+b2=c2 and c=AB.
- So, (PQ)2=a2+b2=(AB)2.
That is, (PQ)2=(AB)2.
Since PQ and AB are lengths of sides, we can take positive square roots.
PQ=AB
That is, all the three sides of ΔPQR are congruent to the three sides of ΔABC. So, the two triangles are congruent by the Side-Side-Side Congruence Property.
Since ΔABC is congruent to ΔPQR and ΔPQR is a right triangle, ΔABC must also be a right triangle.
HOPE IT WILL HELP YOU......

Answer:
We assume you're familiar with the Pythagorean Theorem. The converse of the Pythagorean Theorem is: If the square of the length of the longest side of a triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides, then the triangle is a right triangle
