What does Pythagoras’ famous theorem involve?
Pythagoras' theorem involves:
-a^2+b^2=c^2 is the theorem.
-a and b and the sides of the triangle
-c is the base of the triangle

✴ It states that the Hypotenuse² is equals to Perpendicular² + Base².
In other words, The square of Hypotenuse or side opposite to 90° is equals to the sum of its Perpendicular & Base sq, where Hypotaneous is largest side.
\({ \sf{Hypotaneus²\:=\:Perpendicular²\:+\:Base²}}\)
\({\sf{C²\:=\:A²\:+\:B²}}\)
Where,
\(\mathtt{\huge{\fbox{\fbox{\blue{Proof}}}}}\)
We have to draw QD ⊥ PR ,
In △PDQ and △PQR , we have
∠P = ∠P ( common ) .
∠PDQ = ∠PQR [ each equal to 90° ] .
∴ △PDQ ∼ △PQR [ By AA-similarity ] .
PD/PQ = PQ/PR .
PQ² = PD × PR ----------(1) .
In △QDR and △PQR , we have
∠R = ∠R ( common ) .
∠QDR = ∠PQR [ each equal to 90° ] .
∴ △QDR ∼ △PQR [ By AA-similarity ] .
DR/QR = QR/PR .
QR² = DR × PR ----------(2) .
Taking sum of 1 & 2 equation,
PQ² + QR² = PD × PR + DR × PR .
PQ² + QR² = PR( PD + DR ) .
PQ² + QR² = PR × PR
PQ² + QR² = PR²
PR² = PQ² + QR²
