What is the relationship among the lengths of the sides of a right triangle http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaj0XcLtN5c

Calculating this becomes: 9 + 16 = 25 WIKIPEDIA CCSC Alignnment: 8.G.B.6

One of the best known mathematical formulas is Pythagorean Theorem, which provides us with the relationship between the sides in a right triangle. A right triangle consists of two legs and a hypotenuse. The two legs meet at a 90° angle and the hypotenuse is the longest side of the right triangle and is the side opposite the right angle.
8
Write it down as an equation: abc triangle a^2 + b^2 = c^2
9
The Pythagorean Theorem tells us the relationship in every right triangle a^2+b^2=c^2
10
Example:
11
Example: Does this triangle have a Right Angle? 10 24 26 triangleDoes a^2 + b^2 = c^2 ?C^2 = 10^2+24^2 = 676They are equal, so...Yes, it does have a Right Angle!
12
Let's check if the areas are the same: 3^2 + 4^2 = 5^2Calculating this becomes:9 + 16 = 25
13
It works... like Magic! Example: Solve this triangle. A^2 + b^2 = c^2 5^2 + 12^2 = c^2 25 + 144 = c2 169 = c2 C^2 = 169 c = √169 c = 13
14
example: Does this triangle have a Right Angle? Triangle with roots 3 + 5 = 8 ? Yes, it does! So this is a right-angled triangle (√3)^2 + (√5)^2 = (√8)^2 ?
15
Leg^2 + leg^2 = hypotenuse ^2
16
You Can Prove The Theorem Yourself !
17
proof of the Pythagorean Theorem and it converse: In any right triangle, the sum of the squares of the legs equals the square of the hypotenuse (leg2 + leg2 = hypotenuse2). The figure below shows the parts of a right triangle. Leg^2 + leg^2 = hypotenuse^2 hypotenuse2 – leg2 = leg2
18
proof 3^2 + 4^2 = x^2 26^2 – 24^2 =x^2 9 + 16 = x^2 676 – 576=x^2 √25 = √x^2 √100 = √x^2 10 = x √25 = x 5 = x
19
distance formula: The distance d between the points A = (x1, y1) and B = (x2, y2) is given by the formula: The distance formula can be obtained by creating a triangle and using the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse of the triangle will be the distance between the two points. √

distance formula
21
For example, consider the two points A (1,4) and B (4,0), so: x1 = 1, y1 = 4, x2 = 4, and y2 = 0. Substituting into the distance formula we have:
