Any triangle with one angle equal to 90⁰ produces a Pythagoras triangle and the Pythagoras equation can be applied in the triangle.
What is the Pythagoras Theorem?
The Pythagoras theorem states that if a triangle is right-angled (90 degrees), then the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
In △ABD and △ACB,
∠A = ∠A (common)
∠ADB = ∠ABC (both are right angles)
Thus, △ABD ∼ △ACB (by AA similarity criterion)
Similarly, we can prove △BCD ∼ △ACB.
Thus △ABD ∼ △ACB,
Therefore, AD/AB = AB/AC.
We can say that AD × AC = AB².
Similarly, △BCD ∼ △ACB.
Therefore,
CD/BC = BC/AC.
We can also say that
CD × AC = BC².
Adding these 2 equations, we get
AB² + BC² = (AD × AC) + (CD × AC)
AB² + BC² =AC(AD +DC)
AB² + BC² = AC²
Hence proved
Thus, any triangle with one angle equal to 90⁰ produces a Pythagoras triangle and the Pythagoras equation can be applied in the triangle.
