The Pythagorean Theorem

Hypotenuse

• The longest side of a right triangle

• The side that is opposite (across) from the 90^o angle.

• When using the Pythagorean Theorem, the Hypotenuse is represented by the variable, c.

Leg (of a Triangle)

• The two shorter sides of a right triangle

• The sides that are adjacent to the 90^o angle.

• When using the Pythagorean Theorem, the Legs are represented by the variables, a & b.

Right Triangle

• A right triangle is a triangle with a right angle in it (an angle that is 90^o)

• A triangle can be shown to have a 90^o angle by using a box.

• A right triangle will ALWAYS satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem

• undefined
