Step-by-step explanation:
Given: A right-angled triangle ABC, right-angled at B.
To Prove- AC2 = AB2 + BC2
Construction: Draw a perpendicular BD meeting AC at D.
Pythagoras theorem Proof
Proof:
We know, △ADB ~ △ABC
Therefore, ADAB=ABAC (corresponding sides of similar triangles)
Or, AB2 = AD × AC ……………………………..……..(1)
Also, △BDC ~△ABC
Therefore, CDBC=BCAC (corresponding sides of similar triangles)
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 theorem is proved.
