Question
State Pythagoras theorem and its converse.
✓
Answer
Pythagoras theorem: In a right angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the aquares of the other two sides.
Converse of Pythagoras theorem: In a triangle in the aquare of one side is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides, then the angle opposite to the side is a right angle.
Converse of Pythagoras theorem: In a triangle in the aquare of one side is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides, then the angle opposite to the side is a right angle.
