Pythagoras Theorem

What is Pythagoras Theorem?
-In mathematics, the Pythagorean theorem, also known as Pythagoras' theorem, is a fundamental relation in Euclidean geometry among the three sides of a right triangle. It states that the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares on the other two sides.

    1. Draw & label diagram - how to identify the hypotenuse 

    Hypotenuse -  In a right triangle, the hypotenuse is the longest side, an "opposite" side is the one across from a given angle, and an "adjacent" side is next to a given angle. We use special words to describe the sides of right triangles. The hypotenuse of a right triangle is always the side opposite the right angle. 

     

    2.   Write down what is given.

         a = 6

         b = 8

         c = hyotenuse

     

    3. Write the proof/theory/formula for a right triangle.

     

    

    4. Put the numbers in carrying at operation

      

      6( 2 ) + 8( 2 ) = c ( 2 ) - Multiply 6 to the power of two and 8 to the power of two.

      

          36 + 64 = c ( 2 ) - add 36 and 64.

      C ( 2)    = √ 100    -    Find the square root of the answer.

             C = 10       - The answer.

      5. Answer with units

         

        C = 10

The Pythagorean Theorem is also used in construction to make sure buildings are square.
