Converse of Pythagoras Theorem
“ What is Pythagoras Theorem ?
As in the diagram, ABC is a right-angled triangle
with right angle at C, then
a2 + b2 = c2
The converse of Pythagoras Theorem is:
If
a2 + b2 = c2 holds
then
DABC is a right angled triangle with
right angle at C.
How to prove The converse of Pythagoras Theorem ?
Now construct another triangle as follows :
EF = BC = a
ÐF is a right angle.
FD = CA = b
In DDEF,
By Pythagoras Theorem,
……..(2)
By (1), the given,
Theorefore, AB = DE
But by construction, BC = EF
and CA = FD
D ABC @ D DEF (S.S.S.)
hope helps mark as brainliest plz

GIven a ΔABC, with BC = a, AC = b and AB = c. Also given, c2 = a2 + b2 --- (1) Now construct a right angled ΔDEF, with sides EF = BC = a, AC = DF = b. Let DE = d and ∠EFD = 900. SInce, ΔDEF is a right angled triangle, we can use Pythagoras theorem, ⇒ d2 = a2 + b2 But by (1), c2 = a2 + b2 Therefore, c = d i.e. AB = DE Thus, by construction , By SSS test, ΔABC ≃ ΔDEF Thus, ΔABC is a right angled triangle with ∠ACB = 900.
