Solution

In ∆ ABC,
Given, \[\sin^2 A + \sin^2 B = \sin^2 C . . . . . . \left( 1 \right)\] 

Suppose 

\[\frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{c}{\sin C} = k\]

⇒ \[\sin A = \frac{a}{k}, \sin B = \frac{b}{k}, \sin C = \frac{c}{k}\] 

On putting these values in equation (1), we get: 

\[\frac{a^2}{k^2} + \frac{b^2}{k^2} = \frac{c^2}{k^2} \Rightarrow a^2 + b^2 = c^2\] 

Thus, ∆ ABC is right-angled.
