उत्तर
Given: In triangle PQR, ∠PQR = 90° and S is the mid-point of QR.
To prove: QR2 = 4(PS2 – PQ2)
in right-angled ΔPQS, by Pythagoras theorem,
PQ2 + QS2 = PS2
⇒ QS2 = PS2 – PQ2 .......(i)
Since S is the mid-point of side QR,
∴ QS = `(QR)/2`
Substituting the value of QS in equation (i),
`((QR)/2)^2 = PS^2 - PQ^2`
`(QR^2)/4 = PS^2 - PQ^2`
QR2 = 4(PS2 – PQ)2
Hence proved.

In ∆LMN, l = 5, m = 13, n = 12 then complete the activity to show that whether the given triangle is right angled triangle or not.
*(l, m, n are opposite sides of ∠L, ∠M, ∠N respectively)
Activity: In ∆LMN, l = 5, m = 13, n = `square`
∴ l2 = `square`, m2 = 169, n2 = 144.
∴ l2 + n2 = 25 + 144 = `square`
∴ `square` + l2 = m2
∴By Converse of Pythagoras theorem, ∆LMN is right angled triangle.
