Proving Triangle Using Pythagorean Theorem

The Pythagorean Theorem ONLY works on which triangle? 

• obtuse
• scalene
• isosceles
• right

What is the formula used to solve for the hypotenuse?

• a²⁺b²=c²
• a+b=c
• a-b=c
• c-a=c

What is the opposite of squaring a number?

• divide
• multiply 
• fractions
• square root

Hypotenuse

• Vertical side in a right triangle

• Longest side in a right triangle

• Horizontal side in a right triangle

• a² + b² = c²

What is a right triangle?

• A triangle where all sides equal 90 degrees

• A triangle where every angle is 90 degrees

• A triangle where all three sides are equal

• A triangle where there is a 90 degree angle

What letter represents the hypotenuse?

• a

• b

• a and b

• c

Which choice represents the short sides?

• a and b

• a

• b

• c

Define the term 'right angle'

• Three angles in a right triangle

• When two angles in a triangle are 90 degrees

• Any angle less than 90 degrees

• A 90 degree angle

The Pythagorean Theorem is _________

• a + b = c

• a² + b² = c²

• a² + b² + c²

• A = LW

Side c on a right triangle is ALWAYS the longest.

• true

• false
