Chapter 9 7-2 The Pythagorean Theorem and its Converse (We actually start with 2 sections of Chapter 7.) 7-2 The Pythagorean Theorem and its Converse 7-3 Special Right Triangles
Theorem 7-4 The Pythagorean Theorem In a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs is equal to the square of the length of the hypotenuse.
Common Pythagorean Triples Certain sets of three numbers appear often in Geometry problems since they satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem. 3, 4, 5 5, 12, 13 Multiples of these triples 8, 15, 17 will work as well, such as 7, 24, 25 6, 8, 10 and 15, 36, 39. 9, 40, 41
Theorems 7-5, 7-6, and 7-7 Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem If , then the triangle is a right triangle. If , then the triangle is an obtuse triangle. If , then the triangle is an acute triangle.

Theorem 7-8 45°-45°-90° Triangle Theorem In a 45°-45°-90° triangle, both legs are congruent and the length of the hypotenuse is times the length of a leg. 45° 45° 90° n n n
Theorem 7-9 30°-60°-90° Triangle Theorem In a 30°-60°-90° triangle, the length of the hypotenuse is twice the length of the shorter leg. The length of the longer leg is times the length of the shorter leg. 30° 60° 90° n n 2n
