RIGHT TRIANGLE
Longest side is the hypotenuse, side c (opposite the 90o angle)
The other two sides are the legs, sides a and b
Pythagoras developed a formula for finding the length of the sides of any right triangle

Definition: A number the produces a specified quantity when multiplied by itself.
SQUARE ROOT
![Page 6: Pythagorean Theorem. Right Triangle Hypotenuse Legs Pythagorean Theorem Radical/Radicand Square Root VOCABULARY.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110402/56649e385503460f94b28fc0/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
THE PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM
“For any right triangle, the sum of the areas of the two small squares is equal to the area of the larger.”
aa22 + b + b22 = c = c22
In different words… If the angle opposite the hypotenuse is a
right angle, then aa22 + b + b22 = c = c22

If two measures of the sides of a right triangle
are known, the Pythagorean Theorem can be used to find the measure of the third
side.

“If a triangle has sides of lengths a, b, and c; and aa22 + b + b22 = c = c22
then the triangle is a right triangle with
hypotenuse of length c.”
CONVERSE OF THE PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM
You can determine if a triangle is a right triangle if
the 3 side lengths fit into aa22 + b + b22 = c = c22

Find the length of the hypotenuse if1. a = 12 and b = 16.
122 + 162 = c2
144 + 256 = c2
400 = c2
Take the square root of both sides.

The Pythagorean theorem has far-reaching ramifications in
other fields (such as the arts), as well as practical
applications.
The theorem is invaluable when computing distances between
two points, such as in navigation and land surveying.
Another important application is in the design of ramps. Ramp
designs for handicap-accessible sites and for skateboard parks
are very much in demand.
Can you think of other ways the Pythagorean Theorem can be
extremely valuable?

The hypotenuse is the distance from home to second, or side x in the picture.
The legs are from home to first and from first to second.
Solution: x2 = 902 + 902 = 16,200
x = 127.28 ft
