Given that:

∠ABC is a right angle

Prove that:

(distance AC) ⋅ (distance AC) = ((distance AB) ⋅ (distance AB)) + ((distance BC) ⋅ (distance BC))

The following properties may be helpful:

if ∠CAB is a right angle, then (distance CB) ⋅ (distance CB) = ((distance CA) ⋅ (distance CA)) + ((distance AB) ⋅ (distance AB))

Please write your proof in the table below. Each row should contain one claim. The last claim is the statement that you are trying to prove.
