MATHEMATICS OBJECTIVE
Students will be able to:
Understand a proof of the Pythagorean Theorem.
Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse or a leg of a right triangle.
ESSENTIAL UNDERSTANDING
The Pythagorean Theorem can be used to find an unknown side length of a right triangle.
I can understand the Pythagorean Theorem.
I can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find a missing side when given the other two.
PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM
The Pythagorean Theorem is an equation that relates the side lengths of a
right triangle, a² + b² = c², where a and b are the legs of a right triangle
and c is the hypotenuse.
Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²
DIAGRAM DESCRIPTION
A right triangle has a right-angle marker at its bottom-left corner.
The upright leg is labeled a, the horizontal leg is labeled b, and the
slanted hypotenuse is labeled c. A callout repeats the equation a² + b² = c².
