If ^2 A+ ^2 C= ^2 B , then A B C is
Options
- Aequilateral
- Bright angled
- Cisosceles
- DNone of the above
Correct answer
B. right angled
Step-by-step solution
Given, ^2 A+ ^2 C= ^2 B Obviously it is not an equilateral triangle because A=B=C=60^ does not satisfy the given condition. But B=90^ , then ^2 B=1 and aligned ^2 A+ ^2 C= & ^2 A+ ^2 ( 2 -A ) = & ^2 A+ ^2 A=1 aligned Hence, this satisfies the condition, so it is a right angled triangle but not necessarily isosceles triangle.
