Triangles: Pythagoras Theorem Derivation

What is the main goal of using similar triangles in the context of the Pythagorean theorem?

• To find the area of the triangle

• To prove the theorem using a different method

• To determine the perimeter of the triangle

• To calculate the angles of the triangle

Which angle is common in the first pair of similar triangles?

• Angle C

• Angle B

• Angle D

• Angle A

What is the significance of having two equal angles in the triangles?

• It indicates the triangles are right-angled

• It proves the triangles are similar

• It shows the triangles are identical

• It proves the triangles are congruent

What is the next step after establishing the similarity of triangles?

• Finding the perimeter of the triangles

• Calculating the area of the triangles

• Using the ratio of corresponding sides

• Determining the angles of the triangles

How is the Pythagorean theorem finally proven in this method?

• By adding the equations derived from similar triangles

• By calculating the angles of the triangle

• By using trigonometric identities

• By measuring the sides of the triangle
