1. Pythagorean Theorem Chapter 3 – 5

2. What’s a, b, & c? a & b are the two sides that form the 90° angle a & b are also known as “legs” of a right triangle c is always the ‘longest’ side of a right triangle. AKA – “hypotenuse” b a c

3. Formula

4. What does it mean? Anytime that, then the sides form a right triangle. If, then the sides do NOT form a right triangle.

5. Example of ‘How to Solve’ If c = 26 cm and b = 24 cm, find a. Step 1: a 2 + 24 2 = 26 2 Step 2: a 2 + 576 = 676 Step 3: a 2 + 576 – 576 = 676 – 576 Step 4: a 2 = 100 Step 5: Answer:a = 10 cm

6. Practice If a = 27 mm and b = 36 mm, find c. If c = 15 cm and b = 10 cm, find a. If c = 18 ft and a = 8 ft, find b.

7. Test it out! Example 1:3 m, 4 m, & 5 m Example 2:12 cm, 4 cm, & 16 cm Example 3:15 in, 9 in, & 12 in Example 4:56 ft, 65 ft, & 16 ft

8. More Practice If a = 150 m and b = 60 m, find c. If c = 10 cm and b = 9.5 cm, find a. If c = 24 ft and a = 18 ft, find b.
