Honors :REVISITING THE PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM WITH SIMILARITY15In Lesson 2.3.2, you proved the Pythagorean Theorem using a proof involving thearea of triangles and squares. Did you know that you can also prove the PythagoreanTheorem using triangle similarity? For example, in triangle ABC with right angle atA below, how can similarity be used to prove that (AB) +(AC) (BC)? In thisproblem, you will support this proof by providing reasons for each part of thejustification.a. Find three different triangles in the diagram.Why are all of these triangles similar?Bb. Carol argues that and E= E. Do you agree? Why or why not?How can you use Carol's equations to show that (AB)? = (CBX(DB) and(AC) = (BCXDC)?d. Why does (AB)+(AC)=(CBXDB)+(BCXDC)?e. Why does (CB)(DB)+(BCXDC)= BC(DB+ DC)= (BC)²?f. Finish the proof: Why does (ABY +(ACy =(BC)?

(A) Three different Δ are ΔABC, ΔADC , ΔADB all are similar.Because all are right angle Δ.…
