2 Sec: 8.1 Sol: G.8

3 Theorem 7.4: Pythagorean Theorem In a right triangle the sum of the squares of the measures of the legs equals the square of the measure of the hypotenuse. a 2 + b 2 = c 2 a c b Leg Hypotenuse

4 Lesson 7-2: The Pythagorean Theorem4 Example A B C In the following figure if A = 8 and B = 6, Find C.

5 Lesson 7-2: The Pythagorean Theorem5 Pythagorean Theorem : Examples 1.A=8, B= 15, Find C 2.A=7, B= 24, Find C A B C C = 17 C = 25

6 Solve for x x3 5 1. 2. x 4 6

7 Randy made a ramp for his dog to get into his truck. The ramp is 6 ft long and the bed of the truck is 3ft above the ground. Approximately how far from the back of the truck does the ramp touch the ground?

8 Theorem 7.5 Converse of the Pythagorean theorem If the sum of the square of the measures of two sides of a triangle equals the square of the measure of the longest side, then the triangle is a right triangle. If a 2 + b 2 = c 2, then ∆ABC is a right triangle. a C B A b c

9 Tell whether it is a triangle: 1. 9 15 2. 14 22 26

10 Determine if the triangle is Right, Acute, or Obtuse Right: a 2 + b 2 = c 2 Acute: a 2 + b 2 > c 2 Obtuse: a 2 + b 2 < c 2 Try these: 1) a=10, b=15, c=20 2) a=2, b=5, c=6 3) a=12, b=16, c=20 4) a=11, b=12, c=14 5) a=2, b=3, c=4 6) a=1, b=7, c=7 7) a=90, b=120, c=150
