1 Name Date PD Pythagorean Theorem

2 Vocabulary: Hypotenuse the side across from the right angle, it will be the longest side Legs are the sides adjacent to the right angle His theorem states: a b c In any right triangle, the sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs is equal to the square of the length of the hypotenuse. B Square C Square A C A Square B 1

3 Proof of Pythagorean s Theorem: 1. How do the areas of the two squares compare?. Cut out 4 of the right triangles and the two smaller squares (a and b) on page 5. How do the legs of the triangle compare to the sides of the two squares? Label the area of each square. 3. Take these 6 pieces; arrange them in a manner to completely cover the square on the left above. (think: puzzle) 4. Cut out the remaining 4 right triangles and the remaining square. How does the hypotenuse compare to the side of the square? Label the area of the square. 5. Take these 5 pieces; arrange them in a manner to completely cover the square on the right above. (think: puzzle) 6. Explain how the above diagram proves the Pythagorean Theorem: a b c

4 Converse of Pythagorean Theorem: If a triangle has sides of lengths a, b and c, and hypotenuse of length c. a b c, then the triangle is a right triangle with You can use the converse of the Pythagorean Theorem to determine whether a triangle is a right triangle. Since the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse are always true, you can also determine whether a triangle is not a right triangle. Determine if the given sides are sides of a right triangle. Ex. 1: 5 in, 1 in, 13 in Ex. : 7m, 9m, 1m Ex. 3: 7.6 cm, 11.5 cm, 8.4 cm Ex. 4: 10, 00, 10 3
