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).

The inside angle for B, which is labeled x is the same as the outside angle of D which is labeled as 72, so we know x = 72.

In a parallelogram two angles next to each other equal 180, so angle A and angle B equal 180.

We know B = 72, so A = 180-72 = 108

Angle A is divided in 2 by angle y, so y = 108/2 = 54

Answers: x = 72

Y = 54
