ABC is an isosceles triangle with AB = AC and BC^2 = 2AB^2. Prove that ABC is a right triangle.
Given :-
( i ) AB = AC
( ii ) BC2 = 2AB2
To prove :-
ABC is a right-angled triangle
Proof :-
Given that
BC2= 2AB2
BC2 = AB2 + AB2
But, AB = AC.
So, AB2= AC2.
So,
BC2 = AB2 + AC2
This triangle is satisfying Pythagoras Theorem. So, the given triangle is a right-angled triangle.
