2. 9.2 The Pythagorean Theorem

3. In a right triangle, the sum of the legs squared equals the hypotenuse squared. a 2 + b 2 = c 2, where a and b are legs and c is the hypotenuse. a c b

4. Pythagorean Triples Pythagorean Triple  When the sides of a right triangle are all integers it is called a Pythagorean triple.  3,4,5 make up a Pythagorean triple since 3 2 + 4 2 = 5 2.

9. 9.3 The Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem

10. a c 2 = a 2 + b 2 b a b If a and b stay the same length and we make the angle between them smaller, what happens to c?

11. If a and b stay the same length and we make the angle between them bigger, what happens to c? a c 2 = a 2 + b 2 b a b

12. Classifying Triangles Let c be the biggest side of a triangle, and a and b be the other two side. If c 2 = a 2 + b 2, then the triangle is right. If c 2 < a 2 + b 2, then the triangle is acute. If c 2 > a 2 + b 2, then the triangle is obtuse. *** If a + b is not greater than c, a triangle cannot be formed.
