Question
Fill in the blank to make the following statement true.
In a right triangle the hypotenuse is the .... side.

Solution
In a right triangle the hypotenuse is the largest side
Reason: Since a triangle can have only one right angle, other two angles must be
less than 90°
⇒ The right angle is the largest angle
⇒ Hypotenuse is the largest side.

ABC is an isosceles triangle with AB = AC and D is a point on BC such that AD ⊥ BC (Figure). To prove that ∠BAD = ∠CAD, a student proceeded as follows:
In ∆ABD and ∆ACD,
AB = AC (Given)
∠B = ∠C (Because AB = AC)
and ∠ADB = ∠ADC
Therefore, ∆ABD ≅ ∆ACD (AAS)
So, ∠BAD = ∠CAD (CPCT)
