Question

Pythagoras theorem ​

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras of Samos ( c. 570 – c. 495 BC) was an ancient Ionian Greek philosopher and the eponymous founder of Pythagoreanism. His political and religious teachings were well known in Magna Graecia and influenced the philosophies of Plato, Aristotle, and, through them, Western philosophy.
