Question

In Δ ABC, if sin2 A + sin2 B = sin2 C, then show that the triangle is a right-angled triangle.

Solution

By sine rule,

`"sin A"/"a" = "sin B"/"b" = "sin C"/"c "` = k

∴ sin A = ka, sin B = kb, sin C = kc 

∴ sin2A + sin2B = sin2C

∴ k2a2 + k2b2 = k2c2

∴ a2 + b2 = c2

∴ Δ ABC is a rightangled triangle, rightangled at C.
