1. The Pythagorean Theorem and Right Triangles

2. Introduction to the Pythagorean Theorem The Pythagorean Theorem is a fundamental principle in geometry It relates the lengths of the sides in a right triangle The theorem states: a² + b² = c², where c is the length of the hypotenuse Can you identify the right angle and hypotenuse in a right triangle?

3. Understanding Right Triangles A right triangle has one 90-degree angle The side opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuse The other two sides are called the legs Can you draw a right triangle and label its parts?

4. The Pythagorean Theorem Formula a² + b² = c² a and b are the lengths of the legs c is the length of the hypotenuse This formula works for all right triangles Why do you think this formula is so important in geometry?

5. Applying the Pythagorean Theorem Use the formula to find the missing side of a right triangle Square the known sides Add or subtract as needed Take the square root to find the missing side What information do you need to solve a Pythagorean Theorem problem?

6. Example: Finding the Hypotenuse Given: a = 3, b = 4 Apply the formula: 3² + 4² = c² Simplify: 9 + 16 = c² Solve: 25 = c² Take the square root: c = 5 Can you think of a real-life situation where you might need to find a hypotenuse?

7. Example: Finding a Leg Given: a = 6, c = 10 Apply the formula: 6² + b² = 10² Simplify: 36 + b² = 100 Solve: b² = 64 Take the square root: b = 8 How is this process different from finding the hypotenuse?

10. Classifying Triangles Right triangle: a² + b² = c² Acute triangle: a² + b² > c² Obtuse triangle: a² + b² < c² Can you draw examples of each type of triangle?

11. Example: Classifying a Triangle Given: a = 3, b = 4, c = 5 Check: 3² + 4² = 5² 9 + 16 = 25 25 = 25 This is a right triangle What would change if c was 6 instead of 5?

12. Practice Problem 2 Classify this triangle: a = 5, b = 12, c = 13 Step 1: Calculate a² + b² Step 2: Compare to c² Step 3: Determine the triangle type What's your conclusion about this triangle?
