NCERT Exercise Exercise 6.5

ABC is an isosceles triangle with AC = BC. If AB2 = 2AC2, prove that ABC is a right triangle.

Given that ΔABC is an isosceles triangle having AC = BC and AB2 = 2AC2

In ΔACB,

AC = BC (Given)

AB2 = 2AC2 (Given)

AB2 = AC+ AC2

        = AC2 + BC[Since, AC = BC]

Hence, By Pythagoras theorem ΔABC is right angle triangle.
