Given :
In ∆ PQR ,
PQR = 90° and QS perpendicular on PR , Where S lies on PR .
To Prove :
PR² = PQ² + QR²
Proof :
In ∆ PQS and ∆ PQR
∠PSQ = ∠PQR = 90°
∠QPS = RPQ (Common)
∴ ∆ PQS ≅ PRQ (By AA similarity)
PQ² = SR × PR ----- (equation 1)
_______________________
In ∆ QSR and ∆ PQR
∠QSR = ∠PQR = 90°
∠QRS = ∠QRP (Common)
∴ ∠QRS ≅ ∠PQR (By AA similarity)
QR² = PR × SR ----- (equation 2)
_______________________
Adding the relations obtained in equation (1) and equation (2).
We get ,
PQ² + QR² = SR × PR × PR × SR
PR (PS + SR)
PR × PR
PR²
Hence , PR² = PQ² + QR²
