Question

For a right-angled triangle with sides $a$ and $b$ and hypotenuse $c$, $a^2+b^2=c^2$ is a _____.

• A. Axiom
• B. Theorem
• C. Conjecture
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Theorem

The result $a^2+b^2=c^2$ is true for any right-angled triangle

Where $a,b$ are sides and $c$ is the hypotenuse.

Since, the result holds for every right-angled triangle and it is being proved.

Hence, it is a theorem and it is named as Pythagoras theorem.
