The Pythagorean Theorem
The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the two other sides: a2+b2=c2 c a b
2
Remember that the area of a square is d2
What is the area of this figure? d
3
Cut out the right triangles and the square and see if you can arrange them to be a square of area c2.
4
Now rearrange them so that they form a region of area a2+b2
What does this tell you?????
5
From section 4.1 in your text: Work in your group on mindscapes 1-6 then 13-16. Finally, work on 22.
6
Homework: Section 4.1 mindscapes 7-12 and 18 and Assume that the pizzas are perfect circles and remember that the area of a circle is A = Ar2. Write a reflection on your experience with the Pythagorean Theorem.
