प्रश्न
AB, BC and AC are three sides of a right-angled triangle having lengths 6 cm, 8 cm and 10 cm, respectively. To verify the Pythagoras theorem for this triangle, fill in the boxes:
ΔABC is a right-angled triangle and ∠ABC = 90°.
So, by the Pythagoras theorem,
`square` + `square` = `square`
Substituting 6 cm for AB and 8 cm for BC in L.H.S.
`square` + `square` = `square` + `square`
= `square` + `square`
= `square`
Substituting 10 cm for AC in R.H.S.
`square` = `square`
= `square`
Since, L.H.S. = R.H.S.
Hence, the Pythagoras theorem is verified.
उत्तर
ΔABC is a right-angled triangle and ∠ABC = 90°.
So, by the Pythagoras' theorem,
AB2 + BC2 = AC2
Substituting 6 cm for AB and 8 cm for BC in L.H.S.
AB2 + BC2 = 62 + 82
= 36 + 64
= 100
Substituting 10 cm for AC in R.H.S.
AC2 = 102
= 100
Since, L.H.S. = R.H.S.
Hence, the Pythagoras theorem is verified.

In the above figure `square`ABCD is a rectangle. If AB = 5, AC = 13, then complete the following activity to find BC.
Activity: ΔABC is a `square` triangle.
∴ By Pythagoras theorem
AB2 + BC2 = AC2
∴ 25 + BC2 = `square`
∴ BC2 = `square`
∴ BC = `square`
Construct two concentric circles with centre O with radii 3 cm and 5 cm. Construct a tangent to a smaller circle from any point A on the larger circle. Measure and write the length of the tangent segment. Calculate the length of the tangent segment using Pythagoras' theorem.
In the right-angled triangle ABC, Hypotenuse AC = 10 and side AB = 5, then what is the measure of ∠A?
If tan θ = `12/5`, then 5 sin θ – 12 cos θ = ?
From the information in the figure, complete the following activity to find the length of the hypotenuse AC.
AB = BC = `square`
∴ ∠BAC = `square`
Side opposite angle 45° = `square/square` × Hypotenuse
∴ `5sqrt(2) = 1/square` × AC
∴ AC = `5sqrt(2) xx square = square`
