Pythagorean Theorem - 1

What is the equation when finding the hypotenuse of a right triangle?

• c²-b²=a²

• a²+b²=c²

• c²-a²=b²

• You haven't taught that to us yet!

Name the parts to a right triangle

• Right angle and legs

• Leg, hypotenuse and opposite side

• Leg, hypotenuse and adjacent side

• Legs and hypotenuse

Which is always the longest side of a right triangle?

• Hypotenuse

• Leg (side a)

• All sides are the same size

• Leg (side b)

How do you determine which side of the triangles is the hypotenuse?

• How do I know?!

• Across from the right angle

• See which side looks longer

• Any one you want it to be

The Pythagorean Theorem ONLY works on which triangle? 

• obtuse
• scalene
• isosceles
• right

How do you determine where the legs of the right triangle are located?

• Across from the right angle

• They create the right angle

• Where ever you want them to be

• A triangle doesn't have legs
