Question

please state and prove the converse of Pythagoras

Answer 1

The “Pythagorean theorem,” was inspired by the ancient Greek Mathematician Pythagoras who invented the theorem during 500 B.C. It has been argued that the “Ancient Babylonians” already understood the theorem long before the invention by Pythagoras. They knew the relationship between the sides of the triangle and while solving for the hypotenuse of an isosceles triangle, they came up with the approximate value of up to 5 decimal places.

What is Pythagoras theorem?

In a right-angled triangle, “The sum of squares of the lengths of the two sides is equal to the square of the length of the hypotenuse (or the longest side).”


a2+b2=c2

In the given triangle, side “a” is called as “Perpendicular”, side “b” is called as “Base” and side “c” is called as “Hypotenuse.”
The side opposite to the right angle (90∘) is the longest side known as Hypotenuse, as we know that the side opposite to the greatest angle is longest.
