Show that in a right angled triangle , the hypothenuse is the longest side .
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :- ∆ABC is a right angled triangle at angle B
R.T.P [ Required To proof ] :- AC is longest side .
Proof :- In ∆ABC , angle B is greater than angle A
" The side opposite to the longer angle is longer "
AC is the longest side
Hypothenuse is the longest side .
Step-by-step explanation:
given
triangle ABC is a right angle triangle.
right angle at B ie: angle B = 90
To proof
AC is the longest side of triangle ABC
Proof
In triangle ABC
A +B + C = 180
A + 90 + C = 180
A + C = 180-90
A + C = 90
angle cannot be 0 Or negative
hence
A< 90
A< B
BC < AC (sides opposite to the greater angle is longer)
Also
C < 90
C< B
AB < AC (sides opposite to the greater angle is longer)
AC is the longest side in triangle ABC
Hence proved
