Pythagorean Basics

The hyopotenuse of the triangle measures

• 32

• 24

• 40

• 32 and 24

The shortest leg of the triangle measures

• 16

• 30

• 34

• 16 and 30

35 is the longest side of the triangle and it is called the hypotenuse

• True

• False

Pythagorean Theorem works with

• All triangles

• Only right triangles

• Only scalene triangles

• Only obtuse triangles

Using the picture, what is the Pythagorean Theorem

• a squared plus b squared equals c squared

• b squared plus c squared equals a squared

• c squared plus a squared equal b squared

In the Pythagorean Theorem, the a represents

• Triangle's side length

• Triangle's hypotenuse length

• Triangle's angles

In the Pythagorean Theorem, the c represents

• Triangle's side length

• Triangle's hypotenuse length

• Triangle's angles

In this triangle, using Pythagorean Theorem, the a value is

• c

• 7 ft

• 24 ft

• 7 or 24 ft

In this triangle, using Pythagorean Theorem, the hypotenuse is

• c

• 7 ft

• 24 ft

• 7 or 24 ft

The correct use of the Pythagorean Theorem with this triangle would be:
