OBJECTIVE MATERIAL REQUIRED
To verify Pythagoras theorem by
Bhaskara method.
Chart papers of different colours,
glazed papers, geometry box,
scissors, adhesive.
METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION
1. Take a chart paper and draw a right angled triangle whose sides are a, b and
c units, as shown in Fig. 1.
2. Make three replicas of the triangle from different coloured chart papers.
3. Paste all the four triangles to make a square as shown in Fig. 2.
4. Name the square as PQRS whose side is c units.
A square ABCD of side (a – b) units is formed inside the square PQRS.
The area of the square PQRS is equal to the area of square of side (a – b)
units added to the areas of four identical right angled triangles of sides a, b
and c units.
DEMONSTRATION
1. Area of one right angled triangle = 1 sq.units 2
ab
Area of four right angled triangles =
1 4 sq.units 2
× ab = 2ab sq. units.
Area of the square of side (a – b) units = (a – b)2 sq. units
= (a2
– 2ab + b2
) sq. units.
2. Area of the square PQRS of side c units = c2
sq. units.
Therefore, c2
= 2ab + a2
– 2ab + b2
or c2
= a2
+ b2
.
Hence, the verification of Pythagoras theorem.
OBSERVATION
By actual measurement:
Side a of the triangle =_________ units.
Side b of the triangle =_________ units.
Side c of the triangle =_________ units.
a2
+ b2
=_________ sq. units. c2
=_________ sq. units.
Thus, a2
+ ________ = c2
APPLICATION
Whenever two, out of the three sides of a right triangle are given, the third side
can be found out by using Pythagoras theorem.
