Lesson 10.1 • The Pythagorean Theorem
The Pythagorean Theorem • The side opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuse. • The other two sides are called legs. • We use ‘a’ and ‘b’ to represent the legs and ‘c’ to represent the hypotenuse. c a b
The Pythagorean Theorem C-88: Pythagorean Theorem - In a right triangle, if a and b are lengths of the legs and c is the length of the hypotenuse, then .

Pythagorean Triples • Pythagorean Triple: three positive integers that work in the Pythagorean Formula. • Some popular sets are: 3,4,5 5,12,13, 6,8,10...
Pythagorean Triples Let’s test the side lengths of this triangle and determine if it is indeed a right triangle. C-89: Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem - If the lengths of the three sides of a triangle work in the Pythagorean formula, then the triangle is a right triangle.
