What is a right triangle?
It is a triangle which has an angle that is 90 degrees.
The two sides that make up the right angle are called legs.
The side opposite the right angle is the hypotenuse.

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.
20 = c
2400 c

52 + 72 = c2
25 + 49 = c2
74 = c2
Take the square root of both sides.
8.60 = c
Find the length of the hypotenuse if2. a = 5 and b = 7.

16 + b2 = 100Solve for b.
16 - 16 + b2 = 100 - 16b2 = 84
b = 9.17

What are Pythagorean Triples?
• Three integers that make the equation a2 + b2 = c2 true are called Pythagorean Triples.
• The numbers 3, 4 and 5 are a very famous Pythagorean Triple.
a2 + b2 = c2
32 + 42 = 52
9 + 16 = 25

Practice: Are they Pythagorean Triples?
• 1) yes or no? 2) yes or no?

9 + 64 = 7373 = 73
Since this is true, the triangle is a right triangle!! If it was not true, it
would not be a right triangle.

a & b are the legs
c is the hypotenuse
a2 + b2 = c2

Pythagorean Inequalities:
c2 > a2 + b2 - - - Triangle is obtuse
c2 < a2 + b2 - - - Triangle is acute
