Step-by-step explanation:
Complete the proof of the Pythagorean theorem is given below.
Statement Reason
1. ΔABC is a right triangle, with a 1. Given
right angle at ∠C
2. Draw an altitude from point C 2. From a point not on a line, exactly
to AB one perpendicular can be drawn through the point to the line
3. ∠CDB and ∠CDA are right 3. Definition of altitude
angles
