CSO: M.O.8.4.3
Students will solve right triangle problems where the existence of triangles is not
obvious using the Pythagorean Theorem.
Objective:
![Page 2: Pythagorean slide](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062303/5550f769b4c9057b478b46bd/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Legs – The sides that form the Right (90⁰) angle.
Hypotenuse – The side opposite the right angle, it is the longest side of the triangle.
Converse – reversing the parts.

IN WORDS AND SYMBOLS
• In a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the length
•c2 = a2 + b2

Historical Note
While we call it Pythagoras‘ Theorem, it was alsoknown by Indian, Greek, Chinese and babylonian mathematicians well before he lived !

Using a Centimeter Grid to find area
Area = 1 cm
Area = 16 cm squared
Area = 48 cm squared

3-4-5 Rule
This rule is used to check for the existence of a Right corner.Simply Stated:The measure of any side of 3 units, plus the next side of 4 units has to have a diagonal side of 5 units.

3-4-5 Rule Expanded
This is the 3-4-5 Rule3 squared is 94 squared is 169+16 = 25Square Root of 25 is 5
Make a ConjectureIf the length of one side is 6 andLength of the next side is 8,What would be the length of the longest side if this was a Right Triangle and 6 and 8 were the two shorter sides?

The answer is 15 since we will not have a negative side to the triangle

Now let’s try a problem together
![Page 16: Pythagorean slide](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062303/5550f769b4c9057b478b46bd/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Side a =12 ft
Side b = 18 ft
c
Find the length of the hypotenuse of the above Right Triangle?
![Page 17: Pythagorean slide](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062303/5550f769b4c9057b478b46bd/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Start withc2 = a2 + b2
![Page 18: Pythagorean slide](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062303/5550f769b4c9057b478b46bd/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Fill in with knowns
c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = (12)2 + (18)2
![Page 19: Pythagorean slide](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062303/5550f769b4c9057b478b46bd/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Square the sides
c2 = 144 + 324
Add
c2 = 468
![Page 20: Pythagorean slide](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062303/5550f769b4c9057b478b46bd/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Find the Square Root of Both Sides
√c2 = √468
Round
c = 21.63
![Page 21: Pythagorean slide](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062303/5550f769b4c9057b478b46bd/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
If you reverse the parts of the pythagorean theorem,
you have formed itsConverse, and it is also
true

Irrational numbers and Pythagoras
An irrational number is a number that cannot be expressed as the quotient a/b where a and b are integers and b ≠ 0
Every square root of an imperfect square is an irrational number.Example:
√10 = 3.1622776……..This number continues indefinitely with no repetition
![Page 25: Pythagorean slide](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062303/5550f769b4c9057b478b46bd/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Problems to try
c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 24yds2 + 18yds2
c2 = 576 + 324c2 = 900c = 30
b2 = c2 - a2
b2 = 82 - 32
b2 = 64 – 9b2 = 55b = 7.42
a2 = c2 - b2
a2 = 20cm2 - 17cm2
a2 = 400 - 289a2 = 111a = 10.54
