10. Parts of a Parallelogram
Base – any side of the parallelogram.
Altitiude – the perpendicular segment form the line containing one base to the opposite base.
Height – length of the altitude.

11. Finding the Area of a Parallelogram
Find the area of the parallelogram.
A = 96m2

12. Finding a Missing Dimension
For parallelogram ABCD, find CF to the nearest tenth.

12 in.
13 in. A B E C D F X
1st: Find area of ABCD
a = b h
a = 10 (12) = 120 in2
2nd: Use area formula for other base and height
a = b h
120 = 13 (x)
x » 9.2

16. The Pythagorean Theorem and Its Converse
Lesson 7-2

17. Pythagorean Thm
If a triangle is right, then the sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs is equal to the square of the length of the hypotenuse.
a2 + b2 = c2 b a c

19. How high up on the wall will a twenty-foot ladder reach if the foot of the ladder is placed five feet from the wall?

20. Pythagorean Triples
Any set of three whole numbers that satisfy the Pyth. Thm. are called a Pythagorean Triple. Which of the following are?

21. Using the Pythagorean Thm.
A right triangle has legs of length 16 and 30. Find the length of the hypotenuse. Do the lengths of the sides form a Pythagorean triple?
34. Yes.

22. summary
So, if a2 + b2 = c2 and a, b, & c are integers, then a, b, & c form a pythagorean triple

31. Converse of the Pythagorean Thm.
If the square of the length of one side of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of the other two sides, then it is a right triangle.
GSP

32. Example
Which of the following is a right triangle?

33. Acute Triangle Theorem If the square of the length of the longest side of a triangle is less than the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides, then it is an acute triangle.

34. Obtuse Triangle Theorem If the square of the length of the longest side of a triangle is greater than the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides, then it is an obtuse triangle.

35. Classifying
The numbers represent the lengths of the sides of a triangle. Classify each triangle as acute, obtuse, or right.
a. 15, 20, 25
b. 10, 15, 20
Right
Obtuse

36. Example 5
Can segments with lengths 4.3 feet, 5.2 feet, and 6.1 feet form a triangle? If so, would the triangle be acute, right, or obtuse?
