Pythagorean Theorem Isosceles Triangles

The Pythagorean Theorem is _________

• a + b = c

• a² + b² = c²

• a² + b² + c²

• A = LW

The hyopotenuse of the triangle measures

• 32

• 24

• 40

• 32 and 24

When do we use the Pythagorean Theorem?

• To find a missing angle in a right triangle

• To find the missing length of a right triangle

• To find the area of a right triangle

• To find the slope of a right triangle

The side that measures 15 is the...

• leg

• hypotenuse

What is the final step in solving this work for c?
a² + b² = c²
3² + 4² = c²
9 + 16 = c²
25 = c²

• Divide both sides by 2

• Take the square root of both sides
