Solve Any Leg for Pythagorean Theorem

The Pythagorean Theorem is _________

• a + b = c

• a² + b² = c²

• a² + b² + c²

• A = LW

​ ​ ​ Draw a right triangle and label the sides using: Leg, Leg, Hypotenuse

The Pythagorean Theorem ONLY works on which triangle? 

• obtuse
• scalene
• isosceles
• right

Side c on a right triangle is ALWAYS the longest.

• true

• false

What is a right triangle?

• A triangle where all sides equal 90 degrees

• A triangle where every angle is 90 degrees

• A triangle where all three sides are equal

• A triangle where there is a 90 degree angle

Hypotenuse

• Vertical side in a right triangle

• Longest side in a right triangle
