Turn to Page S.76 Describe what you know about the triangle listed to the left. What type of triangle is it? What are the labels A , B , and C ? What are the labels a , b , and c ? It is a right triangle. They are vertices that form the triangle. The a and b are legs of the right triangle and c is the hypotenuse.
Perfect Squares for # 1-25
How many right triangles are formed in the figure shown below?
A better way of stating the Pythagorean Theorem would be to write it as: leg + leg = hypotenuse 2 2 2
A better way of stating the Pythagorean Theorem would be to write it as: leg + leg = hypotenuse 2 2 2
A better way of stating the Pythagorean Theorem would be to write it as: leg + leg = hypotenuse 2 2 2
