Pythagorean Theorem – Day 1

Warm – Up

Introduction: Over 2,500 years ago, a Greek mathematician named Pythagoras popularized the concept that a relationship exists between the hypotenuse and the legs of right triangles and that this relationship is true for all right triangles. Thus, it has become known as the Pythagorean Theorem.
