Converse of Pythagoras Theorem class 10th
Theorem 6.9
In a triangle, if square of one side is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides, then the angle opposite the first side is a right angle.
Proof:-
Given:- In a △ABC in which
AC2=AB2+BC2
Prove That:-∠B=90°
Construction:- A △PQR right triangle at Q such that PQ=AB and QR=BC (In figure)
Now, from △PQR , we have:
PR2=PQ2+QR2 (Pythagoras Theorem as ∠Q=90°)
PR2=AB2+BC2 (By construction)...(1)

Now, from △PQR , we have:
PR2=PQ2+QR2 (Pythagoras Theorem as ∠Q=90°)
PR2=AB2+BC2 (By construction)...(1)
But AC2=AB2+BC2 (Given) ...(2)
so, AC=PR [from(1) and (2)]...(3)
Now, in △ABC and △PQR,
AB=PQ (by construction)
BC=QR (by construction)
AC=PR [from (3)]
so, △ABC≅ △PQR (SSS congrunce)
therefore,∠B =∠C (CPCT)
But ∠Q =90° (by construction)
So, ∠B = 90°
Hence proved
