Sslc Maths Chapter 9 Kerala Syllabus Question 4.
Prove that in any parallelogram, the sum of the squares of all sides is equal to the sum of the squares of the diagonals.
Answer:
OA2 + OB2 = x12 + y12 + x22 + y22
OA = BC and OB = AC
OA2 + OB2 + OC2 + AC2 = 2(x12 + y12 + x22 + y22 )
AB2 = (x2 – x1 )2 + (y2 – y1 )2
OC2 = (x1 – x2)2 + (y2 – y3)2
OB2 + OC2 = 2(x12 + x22 + y12 + y22)
OA2 + OB2 + AC2 + BC2 = AB2 + OC2
