Standard :10th Chapter:PYTHAGORAS THEOREM Subject:Geometry

❖ Pythagoras Theorem:
“In a right angle triangle, the square of its hypotenuse is equal to
the sum of the square of remaining two sides.”

In △ABC , LABC = 90o

AC2 = AB2 + BC2 ------(Pythagoras theorem)

❖ 30o -60o -90o Triangle Theorem:

In △ABC, LA = 60o , LB = 90o,

LC = 30o,

Side opposite to 30o is ½ of

hypotenuse = AB = ½ * AC
√3
Side opposite to 60o is of
2
√3
hypotenuse = BC = * AC

❖ Similarity of Right Angled Triangles:

Theorem : “In a right angled triangle, if the altitude is drawn to the

hypotenuse then the two triangles formed are similar to the original
triangle to each other”

AC2 = AB2 + BC2 ------------(Pythagoras Theorem)

△ABC ∼△ADB ∼△ BDC ---(Similarity of right angled triangles)
❖ Theorem of Geometric Mean:

In △ABC , LB = 90o,

Seg BD ⊥ hypotenuse AC

BD2 = AD x DC ------------- (Theorem of geometric mean)

❖ Apollonius Theorem:

In △ABC , seg AD is median

AB2 + AC2 = 2AD2 + 2BD2

or

AB2 + AC2 = 2AD2 + 2DC2

❖ Application of Pythagoras theorem:

A) Application of Pythagoras theorem in an acute angled
triangle:

In △ABC ,

Seg AD ⊥ Seg BC

AC2 = BC2 + AB2 – 2 x BC x BD

and

AB2 = BC2 + AC2 – 2 x BC x DC

B) Application of Pythagoras theorem in an obtuse angled

triangle:

In △ABC , LCAB > 90o, seg CD ⊥ seg AB

BC2 = AC2 + AB2 + 2AB x AD

and

AC2 = BC2 + AB2 + 2AB x BD
