Question

explain Pythagoras theorem and prove it by experiment​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Pythagorean theorem is an important math concept that is applied everywhere in math and technology. The idea is simple in that a2 + b2 = c2 for a right angle triangle that has two sides, a and b, and a hypotenuse of c.

The Pythagorean Theorem and its many proofs. In a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs. There are several methods to prove the Pythagorean Theorem.

Answer 2

Proof of Pythagorean Theorem using Algebra:

Proof of Pythagorean TheoremGiven: A ∆ XYZ in which ∠XYZ = 90°.

To prove: XZ2 = XY2 + YZ2

Construction: Draw YO ⊥ XZ

Proof: In ∆XOY and ∆XYZ, we have,

∠X = ∠X → common

∠XOY = ∠XYZ → each equal to 90°

Therefore, ∆ XOY ~ ∆ XYZ → by AA-similarity

⇒ XO/XY = XY/XZ

⇒ XO × XZ = XY2 ----------------- (i)

In ∆YOZ and ∆XYZ, we have,

∠Z = ∠Z → common

∠YOZ = ∠XYZ → each equal to 90°

Therefore, ∆ YOZ ~ ∆ XYZ → by AA-similarity

⇒ OZ/YZ = YZ/XZ

⇒ OZ × XZ = YZ2 ----------------- (ii)

From (i) and (ii) we get,

XO × XZ + OZ × XZ = (XY2 + YZ2)

⇒ (XO + OZ) × XZ = (XY2 + YZ2)

⇒ XZ × XZ = (XY2 + YZ2)

⇒ XZ 2 = (XY2 + YZ2)
