In the previous segment, we learnt about the Pythagoras theorem. In this segment, we will try to understand the theorem.
Understanding Pythagoras theorem
Draw a line of any length and mark a point anywhere on it.
Line
Divide this line into two parts of lengths ‘a’ and ‘b’ units. Thus, the length of the line is a + b.
Line of length a+b
Next complete a square with the length of its side equal to a + b.
Square of side length a+b
Mark the lengths a and b on each segment as shown below:
