Answer: Pythagorean Theorem Pieces of Right Triangles is not a justification for the proof.
Explanation : Here, is a right triangle with sides a, b and c. Perpendicular CD forms right triangles BDC and CDA.
CD measures h units, BD measures y units, DA measures x units.
Draw an altitude from point C to Line segment AB Let segment BC = a segment CA = b, segment AB = c, segment CD = h, segment DB = y, segment AD = x,
y + x = c
a/c=y/a( Similarity theorem in triangles ABC and DBC )
------(1) (Cross Product Property)
Similarly, (Similarity theorem in triangles ABC and ADC)---------(2)
(after adding equation (1) and (2) )
( By additional property of equality)
. ( because y + x=c)
Thus, it has been proved that except Pythagorean Theorem Pieces of Right Triangles we use all other properties.
Hello and Good Morning/Afternoon:
<u>Let's take this problem step-by-step</u>:
<u>What does the information want:</u>
<u>Let's gather some information</u>:
⇒ Angle B is shared by both triangles
⇒ Angle A' and A are the same, as they are both on parallel
lines, A'C' and AC, and both angles are formed with the
same line AB
⇒ by the <em>Angle-Angle Theorem*</em>, they are similar triangles
<u>If they are similar triangles</u>:
⇒ their side lengths are proportional to each other
⇒ let's set up a proportion
⇒ let's set up a proportion
<u>Answer:</u>
Hope that helps!
