In ΔABC, m∠ABC=90°


Construction: BD is a perpendicular on side AC


To Prove: (AC)²=(AB)²+(BC)²


Proof:


In △ABC,


m∠ABC=90° (Given)


seg BD is perpendicular to hypotenuse AC (Construction)


Therefore, △ADB∼△ABC∼△BDC (Similarity of right-angled triangle)


△ABC∼△ADB


(AB/AC)=(AD/AB) (congruent sides of similar triangles)


AB2=AD×AC (1)


△BDC∼△ABC


CD/BC=BC/AC (congruent sides of similar triangles)


BC2=CD×AC (2)


Adding the equations (1) and (2),


AB2+BC2=AD×AC+CD×AC


AB2+BC2=AC(AD+CD)


Since, AD + CD = AC


Therefore, AC2=AB2+BC2
