state and prove Pythagoras theorem

Answer:
Pythagoras theorem:
Step-by-step explanation:
Statement: IN A RIGHT ANGLED TRIANGLE, THE SQUARE OF THE HYPOTENUSE IS EQUAL TO THE SUM OF THE SQUARES OF THE OTHER TWO SIDES.
Given: ABC is a triangle in which angle B = 90°
Construction: Draw BD perpendicular on AC from B
Proof:
Proof:In ∆ ADB and ∆ ABC
angle A = angle A [Common angle]
[Common angle]angle ADB = angle ABC [Each 90°]
∆ ADB ~ ∆ABC [A-A similarity criterion]
So,
=> AB²= AD×AC
Now, AB²=AD×AC ..........(1)
Similarly,
BC²=CD× AC ..........(2)
Adding equations (1) and (2) we get,
Ab²+BC² =AD × AC+CD × AC
AC=AC(AD+CD)
=AC×AC
ACtherefore AB²+BC²=AC²
[hence, proved]

Answer:
In Right angle triangle , the square of hypotenuse is equal to the square of sum of other two sides
Given: A right-angled triangle ABC, right-angled at B.
To Prove- AC² = AB² + BC²
Construction: Draw a perpendicular BD meeting AC at D.
Pythagoras theorem Proof
Proof:
We know, △ADB ~ △ABC
Therefore, ADAB=ABAC (corresponding sides of similar triangles)
Or, AB² = AD × AC ……………………………..……..(1)
Also, △BDC ~△ABC
Therefore, CDBC=BCAC (corresponding sides of similar triangles)
Or, BC²= CD × AC ……………………………………..(2)
Adding the equations (1) and (2) we get,
AB²+ BC²= AD × AC + CD × AC
AB² + BC² = AC (AD + CD)
Since, AD + CD = AC
Therefore, AC² = AB² + BC²
Hence, the Pythagorean theorem is proved.
