REVIEW FROM FRIDAY! Pythagorean Theorem
Right Triangles Hypotenuse – Longest side is the hypotenuse, side c (opposite the 90 o angle) The other two sides are the legs, sides a and b Hypotenuse (c) Leg (a) Leg (b) It doesn’t matter which leg is “a” or “b”. The hypotenuse is always side c!
The Pythagorean Theorem In a RIGHT Triangle, if sides “a” and “b” are the legs and side “c” is the hypotenuse, then a 2 + b 2 = c 2 a b c
The Pythagorean Theorem Find the missing side. a a 2 + b 2 = c 2 a = 17 2 a = 289 a 2 = 64 a = √64 = 8
The Pythagorean Theorem Chris’ window is 12 feet high. If he placed his ladder 9 feet away from the base of the house, how long is the ladder? a 2 + b 2 = c = c = c = c 2 √225 = c 15 feet = c Ladder = c Base = 9 ft Window = 12 ft
The Pythagorean Theorem Three points are located on a coordinate plane. How long is the diagonal formed by the three points? a 9 8 a 2 + b 2 = c = c = c = c 2 c = √145 = b c c We could have used the distance formula to solve this!
PPF RECOGNIZE PYTHAGOREAN TRIPLES* Pythagorean Triples
Pythagorean Triples are three positive whole numbers that fit the rule “ a 2 + b 2 = c 2”. The most famous triple is 3, 4, 5. This means that the legs are 3 & 4, while the hypotenuse is 5. The hypotenuse is the longest side a 2 + b 2 = c = = = 25 This is true, so 3, 4, 5 is a triple!
Pythagorean Triples Any multiple of a Pythagorean Triple is also true. So, any multiple of 3, 4, 5 is also a triple. 6, 8, 10 (multiply by 2) is a triple a 2 + b 2 = c = = = 100 This is true, so 6, 8, 10 is a triple!
Pythagorean Triples Determine whether a triangle with lengths 7, 11, and 12 form a right triangle. (The hypotenuse is always the longest length.) a 2 + b 2 = c = = = 144 This is NOT true, so this is not a right triangle!
Pythagorean Triples Determine whether a triangle with lengths 12, 16, and 20 form a right triangle. (The hypotenuse is always the longest length.) a 2 + b 2 = c = = = 400 This IS true, so this is a right triangle! This is also a multiple of 3, 4, 5 triple!
