•Compare the values of a2 + b2 and c2. Write an algebraic equation to represent this relationship.
c2 = a2 + b2
•Describe what the variables in your equation above represent by completing the following phrases:
right
- ∆XYZ is a _____________ it has a box (right angle)
triangle because ___________________________________________________________
LEGS
- a and b represent the _____________ they form the right angle of the triangle
of ∆XYZ because ________________________________________________
it is opposite the right angle of the triangle
HYPOTENUSE of ∆XYZ because ________________________________________________
- c represents the __________________
RIGHT
Pythagorean Theorem: If a triangle is a _____________ triangle,
HYPOTENUSE is equal to the
then the square of the longest side (______________)
SUM
____________of LEGS
the squares of the other two sides (__________).
OR
Example 1a
Find the value of x. Write your answer in simplest radical b a
form and as a decimal rounded to nearest hundredth.
SOLUTION
c
(hypotenuse) 2
= (a) + (b)
2 2
52 = 32 + b2
25= 9 + b2
16 = b2
4=b
Example 1a
Find the value of x. Write your answer in simplest radical
form and as a decimal rounded to nearest hundredth.
SOLUTION
x2 = 4 + 12
x2 = 16
x=4
Example 1c
Maritza and Melanie run 8 miles north and then 5 miles west. What is the shortest distance,
to the nearest hundredth of a mile, they must travel to return to their starting point?
Example 4
SOLUTION
Example 5: Determine if the following sets of numbers are Pythagorean Triples. Justify your
response.
c2 ? a2 + b2 c2 ? a2 + b2
92 ? 72 + 82 372 ? 122 + 352
81 ? 49 + 64 1369 ? 144 + 1225
