prove that a right angled triangle can never be a regular polygo using two examples.
Answers
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
Regular Polygon : a polygon with equal sides
Right Triangle : A polygon with three sides in which a greater side (hypotenuse) must exist.
Ex : 1) no side equal
consider ∆ABC ; ^B = 90° and AB = 3cm & BC = 4cm then by pythogoras theoruem, AC ( hypotenuse) = 5cm
Ex2) two sides equal
consider ∆ABC ; ^B = 90° and AB = 3cm & BC = 3cm then by pythogoras theorem, AC ( hypotenuse) =3√2cm
hence we can never find a right triangle with all sides equal
*********
other method :
proof by contradiction :
∆ABC ; ^B = 90° and it's a regular polygon
then assume AB = BC = CA = x
By Pythagoras theorem,
AB^2 + BC^2 = AC^2
x^2 + x^2 = x^2
2x^2 = x^2
2 = 1
it's absurd & our assumption is wrong
hence at least one of the sides is different
therefore right triangle is never a regular polygon
hence proved
