PYTHOGORAS THEOREM Presentation - PPTXJH

This document presents the Pythagorean theorem. The theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. It defines key terms like hypotenuse and uses a triangle ABC to prove the theorem through showing that triangles BAD and BDC are similar to ABC. It derives two equations from the similarities and combines them to arrive at the final theorem statement.

THIS IS RIGHT ANGLED TRIANGLE HAVING ONE OF ITS SIDES A RIGHT ANGLE

Come on lets learn ‘PYTHGOREAN THEOREM’

PYTHOGOREAN THEOREM STATEMENT

IN A RIGHT ANGLED TRIANGLE,THE SQUARE OF THE


HYPOTENUSE IS EQUAL TO THE SUM OF THE SQUARES
ON THE OTHER TWO SIDES
THE THING WHICH SHOULD BE KNOWN TO LEARN THE THEOREM IS:

• HYPOTENUSE : Hypotenuse means the side which is


exactly opposite to the angle 90 degree
here in the figure AC is the hypotenuse

b 90 c
A
  TO PROVE : We have to prove that

DATA : In triangle ABC angle ABC =90 degree D

CONSTRUCTION : Draw BD perpendicular to AC


B C
HERE IS THE PROOF
A

To prove the theorem firstly we have to prove that


Triangles BAD and BDC are similar to triangle ABC

D
So, at the first we will take the triangle BAD and prove
That it is similar to ABC triangle 90

B C
A

90 D

* In triangle ABC and BAD , Angle ABC=BDA=90 DEGREE


BECAUSE , D is perpendicular to AC , So both BDA and BDC=90 DEGREE
• Angle BAC= Angle BAD
because both are common angles or angle comes in both the triangles
* Side BA =BA
Therefore triangle ABC is similar to Triangle BAD
Therefore AC/AB = AB/AD = BC/BD / Because of B.P.T
HERE AC/AB CAME BECAUSE ADB IS 90 DEGREE WHICH IS IN RIGHT AND ABC IS
AC/AB=AB/AD
AT LEFT 1
.SO, BY TURNING TRIANGLE BDA TO THE DIRECTION OF ABC , THE B.P.T
IS APPLIED
D

90

B C

*IN triangle ABC and BDC angle ABC=BDC=90 degree


Because AC IS PERPENDICULAR to BD
*Angle BCA and ACD are common angles
*THEREFORE triangle ABC is similar to BDC

Therefore BC/AC = DC/BC 2


HENCE THE TWO EQUATIONS WHICH WE GOT ARE:

AC/AB = AB/AD 1

BC/AC = DC/BC 2

HENCE ADD THE EQUATIONS:

BY ADDING THEM AND SIMPLIFYING THEM WE GET:
