Question

Draw a right triangle and prove the Pythagorean Theorem using similar triangles.

Answer 1

Draw a right triangle and prove the Pythagorean Theorem using similar triangles.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the answer to the question above asking to prove the Pythagorean Theorem using similar triangles. The Pythagorean Theorem states that in a right triangle,

A right triangle consists of two sides called the legs and one side called the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is the longest side and is opposite the right angle.

`AB^2+BC^2=AC^2`

"In any right triangle ( 90° angle) , the sum of the squared lengths of the two legs is equal to the squared length of the hypotenuse."
