Today’s learning Target: 3.8A I can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse of a right triangle. I can use the converse of the Pythagorean Theorem to determine if given sides make a right triangle.
6
Vocabulary 3.8A Right Triangle - has one right angle A C B a b c Leg Hypotenuse - has 2 legs - has 1 hypotenuse
7
Pythagorean Theorem: Vocabulary 3.8A If a triangle is a right triangle, then a 2 + b 2 = c 2 Converse of Pythagorean Theorem: If a 2 + b 2 = c 2 then, it is a right triangle
8
4 5 c 6.40 c Pythagorean Theorem Substitute for a and b. a 2 + b 2 = c 2 4 2 + 5 2 = c 2 16 + 25 = c 2 41 = c Simplify powers. Solve for c; c = c 2. Find the length of the hypotenuse to the nearest hundredth. 41 = c 2 3.8A
9
5 7 c 8.60 c Pythagorean Theorem Substitute for a and b. a 2 + b 2 = c 2 5 2 + 7 2 = c 2 25 + 49 = c 2 74 = c Simplify powers. Solve for c; c = c 2. Find the length of the hypotenuse to the nearest hundredth. 3.8A

triangle with coordinates (–2, –2), (–2, 4), and (3, –2) x y The points form a right triangle. (–2, –2) (–2, 4) (3, –2) 7.81 c Pythagorean Theorem a 2 + b 2 = c 2 6 2 + 5 2 = c 2 36 + 25 = c 2 61 = c Simplify powers. Solve for c; c = c 2. Substitute for a and b. Find the length of the hypotenuse to the nearest hundredth. 3.8A
11
Three sides of a triangle are given. Determine if each is a right triangle. a) 3, 4, 5b) 7, 8, 12
12
Identify the length of side c to the nearest meter. A. 9 m B. 10 m C. 11 m D. 12 m Did you master today’s learning target? 3.8A
