12576 = 4052 3 + 420

4052 = 420 9 + 272

420 = 272 1 + 148

272 = 148 1 + 124
148 = 124 1 + 24
124 = 24 5 + 4

24 = 4 6 + 0
HCF of 12576 and 4052 is 4.

Let shortest side be xm in length

Then hypotenuse = ( 2 x + 6 ) m
And third side = ( 2 x + 4 ) m
We have

( 2x + 6)

= x2 + ( 2 x + 4)

4 x 2 + 24 x + 36 = x 2 + 4 x 2 + 16 + 16 x
x 2 8 x 20 = 0
x = 10 or x = 2
x = 10
Hence the sides of triangle are 10m, 26m and 24m

I part Given: A ABC such that

AC 2 = AB 2 + BC 2
To Prove triangle ABC is right angled at B
Construction: construct a triangle DEF such that

DE = AB, EF = BC and E = 90
Proof: DEF is a right angled with right angle at E [construction]
By Pythagoras theorem we have

DF 2 = DE 2 + EF 2
DF 2 = AB 2 + BC 2 [ DE = AB and EF = BC ]

77

 DF 2 = AC 2 AB 2 + BC 2 = AC 2

DF 2 = AC 2 AB 2 + BC 2 = AC 2
DF = AC
Thus In ABC and DEF we have

AB = DE , BC = EF and AC = DF [By Construction and (i)]

ABC DEF
B = E = 90

Hence ABC is a right triangle, right angled other part.

In QPR.QPR = 90
