Tuesday February 25, 2014Bell Ringer: c 15 c 12 Find the length of the hypotenuse of each of the Right Triangles below: 20 5
What We are Learning Today: • To use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing side of a right triangle • To determine if given sides create a right triangle
Finding a Missing Side: • a2 + b2 = c2 • What if we know side a and side c?
Let’s Try These: • a = 5, b = ?, c = 9 • a = ?, b = 12, c = 15
Converse of Pythagorean Theorem: • If a = 8, b = 9, and c = 12; is this a right triangle? • If a = 15, b = 20, c = 25; is this a right triangle? If a2 + b2 = c2 then the triangle is a right triangle
