1. Surface Area (on quiz) Formula: 2hw+2hl+2wl.

2. Be Careful! VolumeSurface Area 4m 5m 12m 4m 5m 12m

3. a b c

4. This is a right triangle:

5. We call it a right triangle because it contains a right angle.

6. The measure of a right angle is 90 o 90 o

7. The little square 90 o in the angle tells you it is a right angle.

8. The two sides which come together in a right angle are called

11. The lengths of the legs are usually called a and b. a b

12. The side across from the right angle a b is called the

13. And the length of the hypotenuse is usually labeled c. a b c

14. The relationship Pythagorus discovered is now called The Pythagorean Theorem: a b c

15. The Pythagorean Theorem says, given the right triangle with legs a and b and hypotenuse c, a b c

16. then a b c

17. You can use The Pythagorean Theorem to solve many kinds of problems. Suppose you drive directly west for 48 miles, 48

18. Then turn south and drive for 36 miles. 48 36

19. How far are you from where you started? 48 36 ?

20. 48 2 Using The Pythagorean Theorem, 48 36 c 36 2 +=c2c2

21. Why?Can you see that we have a right triangle? 48 36 c 48 2 36 2 +=c2c2

22. Which side is the hypotenuse?Which sides are the legs? 48 36 c 48 2 36 2 +=c2c2

23. Then all we need to do is calculate:

24. And you end up 60 miles from where you started. 48 36 60 So, since c 2 is 3600, c is60.So, since c 2 is 3600, c is

25. Find the length of a diagonal of the rectangle: 15" 8" ?

26. Find the length of a diagonal of the rectangle: 15" 8" ? b = 8 a = 15 c

27. b = 8 a = 15 c

28. Find the length of a diagonal of the rectangle: 15" 8" 17

29. Practice using The Pythagorean Theorem to solve these right triangles:

30. 5 12 c = 13

31. 6 b 10

32. 6 b = 8 (a)(a) (c)(c)
