different approaches of Pythagoras theorem
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The Pythagorean theorem says that the area of a square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares on the legs. Named after the Greek mathematician Pythagoras:
If the lengths of the legs are a and b, and the length of the hypotenuse is c, then, a²+b²=c²
There are many different proofs of this theorem.
algebraic proof : based on linear relations:
the geometric proof : based upon comparison of areas
based upon the vector operation.
dynamic proof : based on mass and velocity
in Right angle triangle ABC
∠B = 90°
Lets draw AD⊥ BC
in ΔABC ≅ ΔBDC ( all angles are equal)
AC/BC = BC/DC = AB/BD
=> AC * DC = BC² eq 1
in ΔABC ≅ ΔABD ( all angles are equal)
AC/AB = BC/BD = AB/AD
=> AC * AD = AC² eq 2
Adding eq 1 & eq 2
AC (DC + AD) = BC² + AB²
=> AC ( AC) = AB² + BC²
=> AC² = AB² + BC²
