Question

prove the pythagoras theorem and its converse ....select as brainliest.

Answer 1

hey dear,

The Pythagorean Theorem states that for right triangles, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the square of the other two sides. In other terms:

a^2+b^2=c^2

In this equation:

a and b = legs

c is hypotnyse

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras' theorem :-

→ In a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

It's prove :-

➡ Given :-

→ A △ABC in which ∠ABC = 90° .

➡To prove :-

→ AC² = AB² + BC² .

➡ Construction :-

→ Draw BD ⊥ AC .

➡ Proof :-

In △ADB and △ABC , we have

∠A = ∠A ( common ) .

∠ADB = ∠ABC [ each equal to 90° ] .

∴ △ADB ∼ △ABC [ By AA-similarity ] .

⇒ AD/AB = AB/AC .

⇒ AB² = AD × AC ............(1) .

In △BDC and △ABC , we have

∠C = ∠C ( common ) .

∠BDC = ∠ABC [ each equal to 90° ] .

∴ △BDC ∼ △ABC [ By AA-similarity ] .

⇒ DC/BC = BC/AC .

⇒ BC² = DC × AC. ............(2) .

Add in equation (1) and (2) , we get

⇒ AB² + BC² = AD × AC + DC × AC .

⇒ AB² + BC² = AC( AD + DC ) .

⇒ AB² + BC² = AC × AC .

$\huge \green{ \boxed{ \sf \therefore AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2 }}$

Hence, it is proved.
