Pythagorean Theory

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

• a + b = c

• a² + b² = c²

• a² – b² = c²

• a – b = c

What is the length of the missing side?

• 3

• 8

• 12

• 18

What is the length of the missing side?

• x = 4

• x = 8

• x = 10

Which equation reflects the right triangle shown?

• x² + 14² = 20²

• 14² + 20² = x²

• 14² – 20² = x²

• x² – 14² = 20²

Which equation can be used to solve for "x"?

• 15² – x² = 21²

• x² – 15² = 21²

• 15² + 21² = x²

• 21² – 15² = x²

Which equation can NOT be used to find the length of the missing side?

• 12² + 13² = x²

• x² + 12² = 13²

• 13² – 12² = x²

• 13² – x² = 12²
