What side(s) will always be the longest on a right triangle?

• The Hypotenuse

• Leg A

• Leg B

• The Right Angle

What is the relationship between the sides in the Pythagorean Theorem shown?

Hint: Think about when the hypotenuse is missing!

• a + b = c

• a² + b² = c²

• a² – b² = c²

• a – b = c

What is the final step in solving this work for c?
a² + b² = c²
3² + 4² = c²
9 + 16 = c²
25 = c²

• Divide both sides by 2
• Take the square root of both sides
