Pythagorean Triples A Pythagorean Triple is a set of positive integers, a, b, and c, that fit the rule: a2 + b2 = c2.
Pythagorean Triples Follow the process: A.) Pick an odd positive integer. B.) Square it. C.) Determine consecutive integers whose sum equals B (divide B by 2 and take the 2 integers on either side of the answer). D.) You have generated a triple with A and C. Example: 7 49 24 & 25 7, 24, 25 Example: 11 121 60 & 61 11, 60, 61
You try: Is a triangle with side measures of 3, 4, 5 a right triangle? Pythagorean Triples You try: Is a triangle with side measures of 3, 4, 5 a right triangle? The following are all Pythagorean Triples. What pattern do you notice between these? 3, 4, 5 6, 8, 10 9, 12, 15 12, 16, 20 15, 20, 25 * What are the next 3 Triples in this pattern? 18, 24, 30
Pythagorean Theorem – Prove It! Converse of Pythagorean Theorem Add to Notes in MSG. 1.) Is a triangle with side measures of 30, 40, and 50 units a right triangle? Prove it! Yes, because 302 + 402 = 502 (900 + 1600 = 2500). (If the sum of squares of legs equals square of hypotenuse, it is a right triangle.) 2.) Is a triangle with side measures of 6, 7, and 12 units a right triangle? Prove it! No, because 62 + 72 ≠ 122 (36 + 49 or 85 ≠ 144).
