Step-by-step explanation:
Hi
Construct a right triange right angled at B.
construction: construct a perpendicular BD on side of AC
given: angleB= 90 degrees
to prove: AB2+BC2=AC2
proof: in triangle ABD and tri ABC,
angle A= angle A
angle ADB = angleBDC=90
therefore, triADB is similar to triABC.
which implies AD/AB=AB/AC (sides are in proportion)
which implies AD*AC=AB2 eq1.
Similarly, tri BDC is similar to tri ABC
BC/DC=AB/BC (sides are in proportion)
which implies AC*DC=BC2 eq-2
add 1 and 2
AD.AC=AB2
AD.AC+AC.DC=AB2+BC2
=AC(AD+DC)=AB2+BC2
=AC2=AB2+BC2
Hence proved.
