Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find a Leg a2 + b2 = c2

Find the Hypotenuse a = 7 b = 6 c = ? Is this a Pythagorean Triple? Nope! a2 + b2 = c2 72 + 62 = c2 49 + 36 = c2 85 = c2 9.21  c a c b

Now find a leg a2 + 152 = 172 a2 + 225 = 289 square the known sides -225 = -225 isolate the variable a2 = 64 subtract a = 64  “Undo” the square a = 8 Check! a 15 17

Check a2 + 152 = 172 82 + 152 = 172 substitute the variable you found 64 + 225 = 289 solve 289 = 289 It checks!

Practice 602 + b2 = 612 602 + b2 = 612 3600 + b2 = 3721 -3600 = -3600 -3600 = -3600 b2 = 121 b = 11 60 b 61 Is it a triple?

Practice a2 + b2 = c2 a2 + 102 = 152 a2 + 100 = 225 -100 = -100 -100 = -100 a2 = 125 a = 125 a  11.18 15 a 10 Not a Triple!

That’s all for today! Do your homework!
