The diagram shown in Figure 1 was used by the Hindu mathematician Bhaskara to prove the theorem in the 12th century. His proof consisted only of the diagram and the word Behold! Use this figure to derive the Pythagorean Theorem. The right triangle with sides a, b, and c has been repeated three times. The area of the large square is equal to the sum of the areas of the four triangles and the area of the small square in the center. The key to this derivation is in finding the length of a side of the small square. Once you have the equation, simplify the right side to obtain the theorem. Figure 1
In a right triangle, the sides that form the right angle are the legs; the longest side opposite the right angle is the hypotenuse. Some textbooks say that when two right triangles have congruent pairs of legs, the right triangles are congruent by the reason LL. In our work, LL is just a special case of one of the postulates in this section. Which postulate is that?
Use Figure 5.19 to prove Theorem 5.4.2. Theorem 5.4.2 The length of the altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle is the geometric mean of the lengths of the segments of the hypotenuse.
