7.1 & 7.2: The Pythagorean Theorem & Its Converse
2: The Pythagorean
Theorem & Its Converse
Today’s essential
question is:
How do you apply the
Pythagorean Theorem to
right triangles?
You probably know what
my theorem is, but do
you know how to show
it works?

Let’s do some problems
now.
Stop!
Hammer
Time!
Wait, what?
No. No no no.
My theorem only
works for what
kind of triangles?

What if we had 3 side
lengths, but didn’t
know if it was a right
triangle?
If 𝑎2 + 𝑏 2 = 𝑐 2 , it’s a right
triangle.
If 𝑎2 + 𝑏 2 > 𝑐 2 , it’s an
acute triangle
If 𝑎2 + 𝑏 2 < 𝑐 2 , it’s an
obtuse triangle.
Last thing…
Pythagorean Triples
Pythagorean Triples
are common sets of
numbers that work
in my theorem.
The most common
triple is 3, 4, 5.
In addition to 3, 4,
5, you can also do
6, 8, 10 or 9, 12, 15
or 12, 16, 20 or…

Open your book to
page 435 to see
some other
common triples.
That’s all for today!
Your homework is:
7.1 #8-17, 31-32
