Answer

ABC is an isosceles triangle right-angled at C. Then 2AC2 is equal to : Pythagoras Theorem, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

Since, ABC is an isosceles triangle right-angled at C.

∴ ∠A = ∠B

∴ BC = AC [Sides opposite to equal angles are equal] ……..(1)

In right-angled △ ABC,

By pythagoras theorem,

⇒ (Hypotenuse)2 = (Perpendicular)2 + (Base)2

⇒ AB2 = AC2 + BC2

⇒ AB2 = AC2 + AC2 [From equation (1)]

⇒ AB2 = 2AC2.

Hence, Option 4 is the correct option.
