  5. Pythagorean Theorem EXAMPLE : Fin d the missing side in the given right triangle A B C

  6. Pythagorean Theorem EXAMPLE : Fin d the missing side in the given right triangle A B C

  7. Pythagorean Theorem EXAMPLE : Fin d the missing side in the given right triangle A B C This is actually a special right triangle called a 3 – 4 – 5 right triangle.

  8. Pythagorean Theorem EXAMPLE : Fin d the missing side in the given right triangle A B C This is actually a special right triangle called a 3 – 4 – 5 right triangle. If you multiply each side by the same factor, it creates a similar right triangle.

  9. Pythagorean Theorem EXAMPLE : Fin d the missing side in the given right triangle A B C This is actually a special right triangle called a 3 – 4 – 5 right triangle. If you multiply each side by the same factor, it creates a similar right triangle. For example : multiply each side by two and you get a 6 – 8 – 10 …

  10. Pythagorean Theorem EXAMPLE : Fin d the missing side in the given right triangle A B C This is actually a special right triangle called a 3 – 4 – 5 right triangle. If you multiply each side by the same factor, it creates a similar right triangle. For example : multiply each side by two and you get a 6 – 8 – 10 … So if you are solving a right triangle for a side, and notice that the sides have increased by the same factor, just multiply the missing side by the same factor…
