Pythagoras Theorem

Statement: In a right angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides.

Given: A right triangle ABC right angled at B.

To prove: AC2 = AB2 + BC2

Construction: Draw BDAC

Proof :

We know that: If a perpendicular is drawn from the vertex of the right angle of a right triangle to the hypotenuse, then triangles on both sides of the perpendicular are similar to the whole triangle and to each other.

ADBABC

So,(Sides are proportional)

Or, AD.AC = AB... (1)

Also,BDCABC

So,

Or, CD. AC = BC... (2)

Adding (1) and (2),

AD. AC + CD. AC = AB2 + BC2

AC (AD + CD) = AB2 + BC2

AC.AC = AB2 + BC2

AC2 = AB2 + BC2

Hence Proved.
