# 3 The sides of a right angled triangle are in an AP. Show that sides are in ther ratio 3:4:5
'''Solution'''
IN right angled triangle ABC
If ∟B=90º and sides are in AP
Let AB= a-d
BC= a
AC= a+d
then <math>(a+d)^2=a^2+(a-d)^2</math>
<math>a^2+d^2+2ad=a^2+a^2+d^2-2ad</math>
<math>a^2=4ad</math>
a=4d
AB=a-d=4d-d=3d
BC= a=4d
AC= a+d+ 4d+d =5d
ratio of sides is 3d:4d:5d
if sides of the right angled triangle are in ratio 3:4:5 then their sides are in AP
