prove that in a right triangle the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the square of the other two side
Answers
Answer:
by the rule of hypotenuse is equal to a square + b square is equal to a square + b square hypotenuse is equal to sum of the square of the other two side
Given:-
∆ ABC is a right triangle right angled at B and BD perpendicular to AC .
To prove:-
(AB)² = (AB)² + (BC)²
Construction:-
BD perpendicular to AC was drawn.
Proof:-
∆ ABC ~ ∆ ADB (°.° if a perpendicular drawn from the right vertex of a Triangles then Triangles form either side to the perpendicular are similar to each other and similar to the whole Triangle)
➬AB × AB = AC × AD.
➬(AB)² = AC × AD. _____ Eq 1
∆ CBA ~ ∆ CDB (°.° if a perpendicular drawn from the right vertex of a Triangles then Triangles form either side to the perpendicular are similar to each other and similar to the whole Triangle)
➬CB × CB = CA × CD
➬(CB)² = CA. CD _____ Eq 2.
adding equation 1 and 2.
AB² + CB² = ( AC × AD ) + ( AC × CD )
➬ AB² + CB² = AC( AD + CD )
➬AB² + CB² = AC × AC .
➬AB² + CB² = AC²
➬AC² = AB² + CB².
