Pythagorean Theorem

• In a RIGHT triangle (a triangle with one 90 degree angle), the sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs is equal to the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the longest side).

• a2 + b2 = c2

b

Page 5: Unit 7 Triangles and Area This unit begins to classify triangles. It addresses special right triangles and the Pythagorean Theorem (again). This unit covers.

Pythagorean Triple• A set of non-zero whole numbers a, b, and c that

satisfy the equation a2 + b2 = c2

• Some triples include:• 3,4,5…5,12,13…8,15,17…7,24,25• Recognize 3,4,5 and 5,12,13 they are the most

commonly used triples on standardized tests!• If you multiply each number in a Pythagorean triple

by the same whole number, the 3 numbers that result also form a Pythagorean triple.

• For example 3,4,5 x the whole number 2 equals 6 (3 x 2), 8 (4 x 2), and 10 (5 x 2), a new triple

Page 6: Unit 7 Triangles and Area This unit begins to classify triangles. It addresses special right triangles and the Pythagorean Theorem (again). This unit covers.

Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem

• If the square of the length of one side of a triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other 2 sides, then the triangle is a right triangle.

• In other words, if you calculate a2 + b2 and it does in fact = c2, then in fact you can conclude that it is a right triangle

Page 7: Unit 7 Triangles and Area This unit begins to classify triangles. It addresses special right triangles and the Pythagorean Theorem (again). This unit covers.

Proofs of the Pythagorean Theorem• The Bride’s Chair•  The area of a square is Side x Side (or side

squared)• Here, the side is a + b. So the area of the square

is (a+b)2

• The area of a triangle is ½ b x h• This makes sense because the area of a

rectangle is base times height, so the area of a triangle would be half of that

• Continuing on then, the area of the triangle in the square then is ½ a x b

• There are 4 of these triangles, so the area would be 4 x ½ x a x b

• Adding the area of the center square (c2), we get (a+b)2 = 2ab + c2, which simplifies to

a2 + b2 = c2

A Proof Discovered by a High School Student

• There are easily over 400 proofs of the Pythagorean Theorem

• This one was discovered by a high school student (Jamie deLemos) in 1995.

• We will learn that the area of a trapezoid is the top base plus the bottom base divided by 2 (in other words we average the bases) x the height.

• Here, that would be (2a + 2b)/2 x ab• The area of a triangle is ½ b x h• This would be 2a·b/2 + 2b·a/2 + 2·c²/2 for all of the triangles• If you set them equal to each other, and reduce, you get a2 + b2 =

c2 • Remember, all of this is used to prove the LENGTHS of the sides,

not area

Page 9: Unit 7 Triangles and Area This unit begins to classify triangles. It addresses special right triangles and the Pythagorean Theorem (again). This unit covers.

Area of a Triangle

• The area of a triangle is half the product (multiply) of a base and the corresponding height

• So, A = 1/2 x b x h• The base of a triangle can be any of its sides.

The corresponding height is the length of the altitude to the line containing that base.

• Right triangles are unique, in that you can pick a base that automatically has a corresponding height h

b

Page 10: Unit 7 Triangles and Area This unit begins to classify triangles. It addresses special right triangles and the Pythagorean Theorem (again). This unit covers.

Find the area of an Isosceles Triangle

• Here, the height is not so easily seen as it is in a right triangle. To find the height, we draw a line perpendicularly from the base to the highest point of the triangle

• To calculate the height, we can project a Right Triangle, and determine the length of the 3rd side.

• 102+h2 = 122

• h2= 122-102

• h= 6.6

• Therefore, the area of this triangle is ½ x 6.6 x 20• Or, area = 66 m2

20 m

12 mh

Obtuse Triangles

• If the square of the length of the longest side of a triangle is greater than the sum of the squares of the length of the other 2 sides, the triangle is obtuse

• If C2>A2+B2 then the triangle is obtuse

Perimeter

• The perimeter of a polygon is the sum of the lengths of the sides –it is the measure of how far around it is –like the perimeter of your back yard, you would measure how far around your back yard it is.

Page 17: Unit 7 Triangles and Area This unit begins to classify triangles. It addresses special right triangles and the Pythagorean Theorem (again). This unit covers.

Perimeter

• For any “regular” polygon, having “n-sides”, the perimeter is n x the length of one side (length = s)

• So a square would be 4s, a pentagon would be 5s and so on

• Otherwise, just add the lengths of the sides for a given irregular polygon

Area

• For simple polygons which have 90 degree angles –like squares and rectangles, the area is equal to side x side

• For a square, we write this: S x S –or S2

• For a rectangle we write this: L x W

Area of a Trapezoid

• The area of a trapezoid is ½ times the height times the top base (b1) + the bottom base (b2)

• In other words, you average the top and bottom (add them and divide by 2) and multiply by the height

Page 21: Unit 7 Triangles and Area This unit begins to classify triangles. It addresses special right triangles and the Pythagorean Theorem (again). This unit covers.

Area of a Trapezoid• Here is how the area of a trapezoid

(1/2h(b1+b2) works: • Take a trapezoid, and make a mirror image• Rotate the mirror image• Now we have a parallelogram again, with the same height, but

the base is b1+b2 So the area of our new parallelogram is base times height, or (b1+b2)xh. Since we only need one of them (we only need 1 trapezoid, not 2), we use 1/2h(b1+b2)B1

B2 B1

B2

B1+B2

Page 22: Unit 7 Triangles and Area This unit begins to classify triangles. It addresses special right triangles and the Pythagorean Theorem (again). This unit covers.

Example

• To find the area of the trapezoid calculate 1/2h(b1+b2)

• (b1+b2) = 5 + 7 = 12

• We don’t know the height• We do have a 30/60/90 right

triangle. • We know the short side is 2 (7-5=2)• So the long side (which is also the height) is 2√3• Therefore the area is ½(2 √3)(5+7) = 12 √3

Area of a Rhombus or a Kite• The area of a Rhombus or a Kite is ½ x D1

x D2 (diagonal 1 and diagonal 2)

• Lets say D1 = 6 and D2= 6

• The area would be ½ x 6 x 6, or 18• Imagine 1 triangle

• The area of this triangle is ½ x D1/2 x D2/2

• This would be ½ x 6/2 x 6/2 or ½ x 3 x 3 = 4.5

• Since there are 4 triangles, we would multiply 4 x 4.5 = 18

• The area of a kite can be proved similarly

Example

• Find the area of this Rhombus

• A = ½ x D1 x D2

• We know that D1 = 12 x 2 = 24

• We need D2

• We can either solve using the Pythagorean theorem, or we can recognize the Pythagorean Triple (3,4,5)

• So the third side of the triangle is 9 (3 x 3, 4 x 3, and 5 x 3)

• Therefore D2 = 9 x 2 = 18

• A = ½ x 24 x 18• A = 216

Circles• A Circle is a set of points in a plane that are the same

distance from the center point• A Radius is a segment of a line which has one

endpoint on the center point, and the other endpoint on the circle

• A Diameter is a segment (or chord) that passes through the center of the circle, and has an endpoint on each side of the circle

• A Chord is any segment whose endpoints are on the circle

• The Circumference is the distance around the circle.• To calculate circumference, you multiply the Diameter

times pi, or 2 Radii times pi

Page 30: Unit 7 Triangles and Area This unit begins to classify triangles. It addresses special right triangles and the Pythagorean Theorem (again). This unit covers.

Circumference• Remember, circumference is the distance

around the circle

• The ratio of the circumference to the diameter of the circle is represented as

• C=Dor C = 2R (1 diameter = 2 radii)

• This is called “Diameter Pi” or “2 Pi R”is the symbol for “pi”, which is an often

used number 3.14159. Pi goes on forever, but your calculator can give you a good approximation

Area of a Circle

• The area of a circle is calculated as:R2

• This is called “pi R squared”

• Note: We can take the Diameter (D) and divide it in two to get the Radius (R)

• We have to do this operation BEFORE we square it

• So we could write this: (D/2)2

More about π• William Jones, a self-taught English mathematician born in Wales, is the

one who selected the Greek letter for the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter in 1706.

• is an irrational number. That means that it can not written as the ratio of two integer numbers. For example, the ratio 22/7 is a popular one used for but it is only an approximation which equals about 3.142857143...Another more precise ratio is 355/113 which results in 3.14159292...  

• Another characteristic of as an irrational number is the fact that it takes an infinite number of digits to give its exact value, i.e. you can never get to the end of it.

• Since 4,000 years ago and up until this very day, people have been trying to get more and more accurate values for pi. Presently supercomputers are used to find the value of with as many digits as possible. Pi has been calculated with a precision containing more than one billion digits, i.e., more that 1,000,000,000 digits!

More about π• Egyptologists and followers of mysticism have been fascinated for

centuries by the fact that the Great Pyramid at Gaza seems to approximate pi. The vertical height of the pyramid has the same relationship to the perimeter of its base as the radius of a circle as to its circumference.

• The first 144 digits of pi add up to 666 (which many scholars say is “the mark of the Beast”). And 144 = (6+6) x (6+6).

• If the circumference of the earth were calculated using π rounded to only the ninth decimal place, an error of no more than one quarter of an inch in 25,000 miles would result.

• In 1995, Hiroyoki Gotu memorized 42,195 places of pi and is considered the current pi champion. Some scholars speculate that Japanese is better suited than other languages for memorizing sequences of numbers.

measure of degree for all angles, and that all sides are proportional –they have the same ratio

Perimeters and Area of Similar Polygons

• If you have a similarity ratio between two polygons for example a/b, then:

• The similarity ratio for the perimeter is the same that is a/b

• The similarity ratio for the area is a little different it is a2/b2

• We can remember this because when we label area it is always “squared” –for example cm2

A Toss of a Coin

• You are at a carnival, where they have a coin toss

• They have an 8 inch square, with a one inch radius circle on the square

• If you toss a quarter and the entire quarter is on the circle, you win a prize

• What is the probability of winning?8 inches

I inch Radius

Page 48: Unit 7 Triangles and Area This unit begins to classify triangles. It addresses special right triangles and the Pythagorean Theorem (again). This unit covers.

The Solution• A quarter is about 1 inch in diameter• Therefore, to be completely on the 2 inch circle,

the quarter has to be at least ½ in from the edge of the circle

• This means the desired area is a circle 1 inch in diameter (2 inch total, minus ½ inch on each side, = 1 inch)

• The total area is the 8 inch square• To calculate Probability, we calculate the

ratio of the desired outcome divided by the total outcome

• Therefore: π(.50)2/82 = .012 or 1.2%• Not very good ODDS!!

Probability• The probability of an event occurring is the ratio of

the number of favorable outcomes to the number of possible outcomes

• A geometric probability model is one in which we use points to represent outcomes. (We will also use area). You find probabilities by comparing measurements of sets of points. For example: if points of segments (like a number line) represent possible outcomes, then

• P(event) = length of favorable segment length of entire segment

Example

• Suppose a fly lands on a 12 inch ruler’s edge. What is the probability that the fly lands on a point between 3 and 7?

P(landing between 3 and 7) =

Length of favorable segment = 4 or 1

Length of total segment 12 3

Another example• A point on segment AB is selected at random. What is

the probability that it is a point found on segment CD?

• How many favorable outcomes are there?– Or, what is the length of the favorable segment? – 4

• How many possible outcomes are there?– Or, what is the length of the entire segment?– 10

• P(point on CD) = length CD/length AB or 4/10 or 2/5

Bus example

• Elena’s bus runs every 25 minutes.

• If she arrives at her stop at a random time, what is the probability that she will have to wait at least 10 minutes for the bus?– Assume the stops take very little time

Page 53: Unit 7 Triangles and Area This unit begins to classify triangles. It addresses special right triangles and the Pythagorean Theorem (again). This unit covers.

Bus Example• Let segment AB represent the 25 minute wait

between buses.• Let segment AC represent any random wait,

up to 10 minutes before the bus arrives– Therefore if Elena arrives anywhere on segment

AC, she will have to wait at least 10 minutes– P(waiting at least 10 min) = length AC/length AB– Or 15/25 or 3/5– What is the probability that Elena will have to wait

less than 10 minutes?

A C B

There are 2 ways to solve this:One way is the same as we did for the first problem:10/25 = 2/5The other way is this: The total possible probabilities will add up to one. Here, we have 2 probabilities that must add up to one. The first is 3/5, the other is 2/5 for a total of 5/5

Probability using regions or Area

• If the points of a region represent equally likely outcomes, then you can find probabilities by comparing areas

• Where P(event) = area of favorable region/ area of entire region

Target example

• Assume that a dart you throw will land on a 1 foot square dartboard and is equally likely to land at any point on the board. Find the probability of hitting each of the blue, yellow and red regions. The radii of the concentric circles are 1, 2 and 3 inches respectively.

Page 56: Unit 7 Triangles and Area This unit begins to classify triangles. It addresses special right triangles and the Pythagorean Theorem (again). This unit covers.

Target Example

• Radii = 1 in (Blue) 2 in (Yellow) and 3 in (Red)• P(Dart in blue) = area of blue/total area

– = π(1)2/122

– which equals π/144 or .022, or 2.2%

• P(Dart in yellow) = area of yellow/total area– = (π(2)2 - π(12))/144

– Which equals 3π/144 or .065 or 6.5%

• P(Dart in red) = area of red/total area– = (π(3)2 - π(22))/144 – Which equals 5π/144 or .109 or 10.9%

• What if the radius of the blue circle was doubled? What would the probability be of hitting the blue circle?

• What if it was tripled? What would be the probability of hitting the blue circle?
