PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM

For any right triangle, 𝑎2 + 𝑏2 = 𝑐2, where a

and b are the lengths of the legs and c is the

length of the hypotenuse.

If a, b, and c are whole numbers, then they are

considered a ___________________ ______________.

Examples Find the length of the unknown side.

Geometry msheizer.weebly.com Trigonometry 45O-450-90O TRIANGLE

Recall: an isosceles triangle has two sides congruent and the angles opposite

those sides congruent. A 45O-450-90O triangle is an isosceles triangle.

In a 45O-450-90O triangle, the hypotenuse is √2 times as long as each leg.

Examples Find the length of the unknown side(s)
