Pythagorean Theorem

The Pythagorean Theorem ONLY works on which triangle?

• obtuse

• scalene

• isosceles

• right

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
