Describe what you know about the triangle listed to the left.
What type of triangle is it?
What are the labels A , B , and C ?
What are the labels a , b , and c ?
 It is a right triangle.
 They are vertices that form the triangle.
 The a and b are legs of the right triangle and c is the hypotenuse.

3. Perfect Squares for # 1-25

4. How many right triangles are formed in the figure shown below?

5. A better way of stating the Pythagorean Theorem would be to write it as:
leg + leg = hypotenuse

6. A better way of stating the Pythagorean Theorem would be to write it as:
leg + leg = hypotenuse

7. A better way of stating the Pythagorean Theorem would be to write it as:
leg + leg = hypotenuse

9. 5 b 13 144 = b 25 + ? = 169 25 + 144 = 169 b = 12 ? Is = Solution:
On the lined paper (first page), write down this problem and draw the triangle as shown – Use the top half of the page only. =
5 b ?
? = Is
Rational or Irrational?
Solution:
b = 12 =
144 = b

10. 4 9 c 97 = c 16 + 81 = ? 16 + 81 = 97 ? Is = Rational or Irrational?
On the lined paper (first page), write down this problem and draw the triangle as shown – Use the bottom half of the page only. ? = c Is
Rational or Irrational?
= ?
= 97
97 = c
C would be between what two integers?
