Answer: Draw perpendicular to the hypotenuse that goes through point of right angle.


Step-by-step explanation:

Let ΔABC be any triangle right angled at B, then a line segment perpendicular to AC (hypotenuse) and name it point D such that in ΔABC and ΔABD, ∠B=∠ADB =90° and ∠A=∠A (common in both triangles) ,therefore by AA similarity criteria ΔABC is similar to ΔABD....> which can be use to prove the Pythagoras theorem.

Pythagoras  theorem states that in any right angled triangle the square of the longest side is equal to the sum of the square of other two sides.

The construction that you can use to prove the Pythagorean Theorem based on similarity of triangles is 2nd construction. Please see the attached file.

 

To add, in mathematics, the Pythagorean theorem, also known as Pythagoras's theorem, is a fundamental relation in Euclidean geometry among the three sides of a right triangle. It mentions that the sum of the squares of the other two sides is equal to the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle).

HELP MEEEE<br> How do you add and subtract functions?
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

To add or subtract functions, just add or subtract the values at each point where it makes sense. If the functions are given by formulas, you can just add or subtract the formulas (it doesn't matter whether you plug in values before or after).

How do you decide where to put a point when you are graphing?
elena55 [62]

Step-by-step explanation:

When deciding where to put an ordered pair on a graph its important to understand how ordered pairs work.

An ordered pair is split up into to pieces

(x,y) or number example (3,5)

When graphing the x coordinate will fall on your horizontal line or the line that looks like the horizon.

When graphing the y coordinate it will fall on your vertical line or the line that goes right up into the sky like a rocket.  

To graph (3,5)

Go to the right 3 and up 5

Sometimes helps to use both fingers to keep your spot. Slide both fingers until they collide and that's where you would plot your point!

Hope this helps if you have an questions just comment and ill try to explain further.
