  1. Sec 6.6 Pythagorean Theorem (Leg1)2 + (leg2)2 = (Hyp)2 hypotenuse Leg 1 Leg 2

  2. Objective- To find the missing side of a right triangle by using Pythagorean Theorem. For Right Triangles Only! - always opposite to the right angle hypotenuse leg leg

  3. Objective- To find the missing side of a right triangles by using Pythagorean Theorem. For Right Triangles Only! hypotenuse Leg leg

  4. Objective- To find the missing side of a right triangles by using Pythagorean Theorem. For Right Triangles Only! hypotenuse Leg 1 Leg 2

  5. Objective- To find the missing side of a right triangles by using Pythagorean Theorem. For Right Triangles Only! Pythagorean Theorem Hyp Leg 1 (Leg1)2 + (leg2)2 = (Hyp)2 Leg 2

  6. Solve for x. (Leg1)2 + (leg2)2 = (Hyp)2 x 6 (Hyp) (Leg 1) 8 (Leg 2) Line Segment can’t be negative.

  7. Solve for y. (Leg1)2 + (leg2)2 = (Hyp)2 7 (Leg 2) 4 y (Leg 1) (Hyp) Line Segment can’t be negative.

  8. Solve for t. (Leg1)2 + (leg2)2 = (Hyp)2 6 (Leg 1) t 15 (Leg 2) (Hyp) Line Segment can’t be negative.

  11. To the nearest tenth of a foot, find the length of the diagonal of a rectangle with a width of 4 feet and a length of 10 feet. (Leg1)2 + (leg2)2 = (Hyp)2 x 4 ft. 10 ft.

  12. A car drives 20 miles due east and then 45 miles due south. To the nearest hundredth of a mile, how far is the car from its starting point? 20 miles x 45 miles

  13. Application • The Pythagorean theorem has far-reaching ramifications in other fields (such as the arts), as well as practical applications. • The theorem is invaluable when computing distances between two points, such as in navigation and land surveying. • Another important application is in the design of ramps. Ramp designs for handicap-accessible sites and for skateboard parks are very much in demand.

  14. Steps of Solving Pythagorean Word Problems 1. Draw and Label the diagram. (Leg 1, Leg 2 and Hypotenuse) 2. Write out (Leg 1)2 + (leg 2)2 = (Hyp)2 3. Set up the equation. 4. Solve for the unknown. 5. Write a conclusion statement.
