Answer: AB^2 = BC^2+CA^2
Step-by-step explanation:
hi mate,
Pythagoras Theorem Proof
Given: A right-angled triangle ABC.
To Prove- AC² = AB² + BC²
Proof: First, we have to drop a perpendicular BD onto the side AC
We know, △ADB ~ △ABC
Therefore,
AD AB
----- = -----
AB AC
(Condition for similarity)
Or, AB² = AD × AC …………………..……..(1)
Also, △BDC ~△ABC
Therefore,
CD BC
----- = -----
BC AC
(Condition for similarity)
Or, BC²= CD × AC …………………………..(2)
Adding the equations (1) and (2) we get,
AB² + BC² = AD × AC + CD × AC
AB² + BC² = AC (AD + CD)
Since, AD + CD = AC
Therefore, AC² = AB² + BC²
Hence, the Pythagorean thoerem is proved.
Pythagoras Theorem Statement
Pythagoras theorem states that “In a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse side is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides“.
The sides of this triangles have been named as Perpendicular, Base and Hypotenuse. Here, the hypotenuse is the longest side, as it is opposite to the angle 90°. The sides of a right triangle (say x, y and z) which has positive integer values, when squared are put into an equation, also called a Pythagorean triple.
i hope it helps you.
