  1. Chapter 9 Right Triangles and Trigonometry

  2. Section 3The Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem

  3. GOAL 1: Using the Converse

  4. Example 1: Verifying Right Triangles The triangles below appear to be right. Tell whether they are right triangles.

  5. GOAL 2: Classifying Triangles Sometimes it is hard to tell from looking whether a triangle is obtuse or acute. The theorems below can help you tell.

  6. Example 2: Classifying Triangles Decide whether the set of numbers can represent the side lengths of a triangle. If they can, classify the triangle as right, acute, or obtuse. a) 38, 77, 86 b) 10.5, 36.5, 37.5

  7. Example 3: Building a Foundation Construction: You use four stakes and string to mark the foundation of a house. You want to make sure the foundation is rectangular. • A friend measure the four sides to be 30 feet, 30 feet, 72 feet, and 72 feet. He says these measurements prove the foundation is rectangular. Is he correct? • You measure one of the diagonals to be 78 feet. Explain how you can use this measurement to tell whether the foundation will be rectangular.
