✴ It states that the Hypotenuse² is equals to Perpendicular²+ Base².
In other words, The square of Hypotenuse or side opposite to 90° is equals to the sum of its Perpendicular & Base sq, where Hypotaneous is largest side.
Where,
- C = Hypotenuse
- A = Perpendicular
- B = Base
Given :-
- A △PQR in which an ∠PQR = 90° .
To prove :-
- PR² = PQ² + QR²
Proof :-
We have to draw QD ⊥ PR ,
In △PDQ and △PQR , we have
∠P = ∠P ( common ) .
∠PDQ = ∠PQR [ each equal to 90° ] .
∴ △PDQ ∼ △PQR [ By AA-similarity ] .
⇒ PD/PQ = PQ/PR .
⇒ PQ² = PD × PR ............(1) .
In △QDR and △PQR , we have
∠R = ∠R ( common ) .
∠QDR = ∠PQR [ each equal to 90° ] .
∴ △QDR ∼ △PQR [ By AA-similarity ] .
⇒ DR/QR = QR/PR .
⇒ QR² = DR × PR ............(2) .
Taking sum of 1 & 2 equation,
⇒ PQ² + QR² = PD × PR + DR × PR .
⇒ PQ² + QR² = PR( PD + DR ) .
⇒ PQ² + QR² = PR × PR
⇒ PQ² + QR² = PR²
PR² = PQ² + QR²
