Answer» In a triangle, if the square of one SIDE is equal to the sum of square of other two sides then prove that the triangle is right angled triangle. ________________________
Given : AC² = AB² + BC² To prove : ABC is a right angled triangle. Construction : Draw a right angled triangle PQR such that, angle Q = 90°, AB = PQ, BC = QR. Proof : In triangle PQR, Angle Q = 90° ( by construction ) Also, PR² = PQ² + QR² ( By using PYTHAGORAS theorem )...(1) But, AC² = AB² + BC² ( Given ) Also, AB = PQ and BC = QR ( by construction ) AC² = PQ²+ QR²....(2) From EQ (1) and (2), PR² = AC² So, PR = AC Now, In ∆ABC and ∆PQR, AB = PQ ( By construction ) BC = QR ( By construction ) AC = PR ( Proved above ) Hence, ∆ABC is congruent to ∆PQR by SSS criteria. Therefore, Angle B = Angle Q ( By CPCT ) But, Angle Q = 90° ( By construction ) Therefore, Angle B = 90° Thus, ABC is a right angled triangle with Angle B = 90° ____________________ Hence proved! |
