Pythagorean Theorem What is it and how does it work? a 2 + b 2 = c 2

Pythagorean Theorem Find the legs and hypotenuse Square the legs (this is a and b) Add them together Square root them This is the length of the hypotenuse (this is c)

leg hypotenuse Right angle The Right Triangle

1. Square both legs 3 ft 4 ft 3 ft

2. Count the total squares 3 ft 4 ft 3 ft = 25

3 ft 4 ft 3 ft = Put that number of squares on the hypotenuse

3 ft 4 ft 3 ft = Count the number of squares that touch the hypotenuse # = 5

3 ft 4 ft 3 ft = 25 5.That number is the length of the hypotenuse # = 5 Length = 5

Summary Find the legs and hypotenuse. Square the legs (this is a and b) Add them together Square root them This is the length of the hypotenuse (this is c)
