Proving Right-Angled Triangles with Pythagoras' Theorem
In a geometrical problem involving intersecting lines on the x-axis, we demonstrate the formation of right-angled triangles by applying Pythagoras' theorem. Through visual aids and mathematical explanations, the concept of right angles within triangles is illustrated with clarity and precision.
