 It is the way you find the area of an triangle.  It has three sides.  A. one of the three sides also called a leg  B. one of the three sides also a leg  C. is the hypotenuse the third side of the triangle  If u multiple the two legs they make the hypotenuse.

 An right triangle has three side that form at a 90 degree angle.

 Pythagorean theorem works on all triangles, but it most commonly used on right triangles.

 Pythagorean theorem would be used to find the area of an triangle. Ex.

 It is important to architects to know a roof that shaped like an triangle, or the shape of an sculpture for an artist.

 Ok lets work out a problem using Pythagorean theorem.

 To find the hypotenuses you have to multiple the two legs A=5 B=6. 5*6=30 A*B=C

 After you find all the numbers you then square root them and add them. Ex. 2

 I'm going to use an right triangle as an example.

 Five things we learned today about Pythagorean theorem.  1.pythagorean theorem is the how you find the area of an triangle.  2.pythagorean theorem has three legs  3. Pythagorean theorem biggest leg is the hypotenuse.  4. the right triangle is the most common triangle used for Pythagorean theorem.  5. the most important thing to know is that a + b always =c
