Question
From step #11 to step #12, how are
we able to substitute in c in place of
(f+e)?
Proof of the Pythagorean Theorem
Given: Triangle ABC is a right Triangle, and CD is an altitude
Prove: a? + b2 = c2
a
b
B
f
Statement
Reason
1.Triangle ABC is a right Triangle, and 1.
CD is an altitude
2. MLBDC = 90
2.
MLADC = 90
3. т < A %3D т <А
3.
4. m < B = m< B
4.
5. т < АСB — т<CDB3D т< ADC
5.
6. AACB~ACDB~AADC
6.
a
7. ==
c b'c
e
7.
8. b2 = cf , a? = ce
8. Cross multiplication
9. a? + b? = cf + a?
9.
10. a? + b² = cf + ce
10.
11. a? + b2 =
c(f +e)
11.
12.
12.a*+b =c -c
13.
13.a +b? =c?
