Question

Prove that “In a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse side is

equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides”

Using the result of this theorem find the length of the altitude of an

equilateral triangle of side 2a.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Pythagoras theorem states that “In a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse side is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides“. The sides of this triangle have been named as Perpendicular, Base and Hypotenuse. Here, the hypotenuse is the longest side, as it is opposite to the angle 90°.
