OBJECTIVE:-
To verify the Pythagoras theorem by method of Paper Folding, Cutting and Pasting
THEORY:-
Pythagoras theorem:- It states that in a right angled triangle, the square of the largest side (Hypotenuse) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides(Perpendicular and the base).
PRE-REQUISITE KNOWLEDGE:-
• Area of a Square
• Construction of Parallel lines and Perpendicular bisectors
• Construction of a Right triangle
MATERIALS REQUIRED:-
Coloured Paper, A pair of Scissors, Geometry box, Sketch Pens, Fevicol
PROCEDURE:-
1) Cut out a right angled triangle ABC, with sides AC=8cm, AB=10cm, BC=6cm.
2) Cut 3 squares of dimensions 6cm x 6cm, 8cm x 8cm and 10cm x 10cm.
3) Place these squares on the sides of the triangle ABC corresponding to the sides of the square.
4) Now join the the diagonals of the square placed on the perpendicular or the base, say perpendicular.
5) Throught the intersection point of the diagonals draw a line parallel to the base of the Hypotenuse AB of triangle ABC.
6) Now draw perpendicular bisector of the line segment drawn
