Discovering the Pythagorean Theorema) On grid paper, draw a right triangle. 1)right angle2) no longer than 5 units 3) 3 different measurements
b) Label the longest side opposite the right angle c.
c) Label the two shorter sides a and b.
d) Draw squares along each of the three sides.
e) Cut out the three squares.
f) Draw eight more of the same right triangle.
g) Arrange the figures to form two identical larger squares.

Pythagorean Theorem a2 + b2 = c2
It describes the relationship between the length of the legs and
hypotenuse for any right triangle.

Guided practice p. 164 #14
Why is it important to figure our which side is the hypotenuse first?
1) Which side is the hypotenuse? 2) a2 + b2 = c2 (leg + leg = hypotenuse)

Pythagorean Theorem a2 + b2 = c2
It describes the relationship between the length of the legs and
hypotenuse for any right triangle.
Take out all the pages for lesson 13 and look at Exercise 1.
Let's apply what we've learned about the Pythagorean Theorem:
1) Which side is the hypotenuse? 2) a2 + b2 = c2 (leg + leg = hypotenuse)

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing sides. Round the value to the nearest hundredth if you need to.
A right triangle has 2 legs that are 27mm and 16mm. What is the length of the third side?
A right triangle has one leg that is 4.5 in. and a hypotenuse that is 7.6 in. What is the length of the third side?

Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem
If the sides of a triangle have lengths a, b, and c that a2 + b2 = c2, then the triangle is a right triangle.
In other words, if the three sides of a triangle are put into the Pythagorean Theorem and it is a true statement, then the triangle is a right triangle.
