Look at the right triangle ABC.
A student made the following chart to prove that AB2 + BC2 = AC2.
Statement Justification
1. Triangle ABC is similar to triangle BDC 1. Angle ABC = Angle BCD and Angle BCA = Angle DBC
2. BC2 = AC x DC 2. BC ÷ DC = AC ÷ BC because triangle ABC is similar to triangle BDC
3. Triangle ABC is similar to triangle ABD 3. Angle ABC = Angle ADB and Angle BAC = Angle BAD
4. AB2 = AC x AD 4. AB ÷ AD = AC ÷ AB because triangle ABC is similar to triangle ABD
5. AB2 + BC2 = AC x AD + AC x DC = AC (AD + DC) 5. Adding Statement 1 and Statement 2
6. AB2 + BC2 = AC2 6.
