The Pythagorean Theorem

What is the Pythagorean Theorem?

• y = mx + b

• A² + B² = C²

• a² + b² = c²

• y = mx

What are the legs in the Pythagorean Theorem?

• c and b

• a and b

• c and a

What is the Hypotenuse in the Pythagorean Theorem?

• a

• b

• c

• d

The Pythagorean Theorem only works for triangles.

• True

• False

A right triangle gives us A² + B² = C²
