Answer :
Step-by-step explanation:
Pythagoras' theorem :-
→ In a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.
Step-by-step explanation:
It's prove :-
➡ Given :-
→ A △ABC in which ∠ABC = 90° .
➡To prove :-
→ AC² = AB² + BC² .
➡ Construction :-
→ Draw BD ⊥ AC .
➡ Proof :-
In △ADB and △ABC , we have
∠A = ∠A ( common ) .
∠ADB = ∠ABC [ each equal to 90° ] .
∴ △ADB ∼ △ABC [ By AA-similarity ] .
⇒ AD/AB = AB/AC .
⇒ AB² = AD × AC ............(1) .
In △BDC and △ABC , we have
∠C = ∠C ( common ) .
∠BDC = ∠ABC [ each equal to 90° ] .
∴ △BDC ∼ △ABC [ By AA-similarity ] .
⇒ DC/BC = BC/AC .
⇒ BC² = DC × AC. ............(2) .
Add in equation (1) and (2) , we get
⇒ AB² + BC² = AD × AC + DC × AC .
⇒ AB² + BC² = AC( AD + DC ) .
⇒ AB² + BC² = AC × AC .

Hence, it is proved.
