7.1 – Apply the Pythagorean Theorem
Pythagorean Theorem: leg hypotenuse a b c c 2 = a 2 + b 2 (hypotenuse) 2 = (leg) 2 + (leg) 2 If a triangle is a right triangle, then (hypotenuse) 2 = (leg) 2 + (leg) 2

7.2 – Converse of the Pythagorean
Pythagorean Theorem Converse: If c 2 = a 2 + b 2, then the triangle is a right triangle a b c
Acute Triangle: If c 2 < a 2 + b 2, then the triangle is acute a b c
Obtuse Triangle: If c 2 > a 2 + b 2, then the triangle is obtuse a b c
