What is inverse of Pythagoras theorem???

Answer»

Thanks for asking the question!


ANSWER::


INVERSE PYTHAGORAS THEOREM


To prove - If in a triangle the SQUARE on one of the SIDES equals the sum of the squares on the REMAINING two sides of the triangle, then the angle contained by the remaining two sides of the triangle is right.


Proof - Let there be a triangle ABC


BC² = BA² + AC²


After this , draw AD at right angles to AC

Make DA =AB

Join DC


Now , DA = AB

So , DA² = AB²


And , DA² + AC² = AB² + AC²

DC² = DA² + AC²

BC² = BA² + AC²

DC² = BC²


So, DC = BC


And , Triangles ABC and ADC are congruent


AB=AD

BC=DC

AC=AC (common)


∠CAD =∠CAB = 90°


Hop it helps!
