Khan Academy: Finding Distance With Pythagorean Theorem

In order to learn about the Pythagorean Theorem, young mathematicians investigate relations and patterns between different sides of a right triangle to look for possible relations among the squared sides. Once they have established the...

In this pythagorean theorem worksheet, young scholars identify the missing length of one side for 10 triangles. Each triangle gives the lengths of two sides and students must find the length of the third. 

Students solve problems using the Pythagorean Theorem. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify the Pythagorean Triple and use it to solve real life problems.

In this video, Sal introduces the Pythagorean Theorem to viewers, crossing into the realm of geometry. He uses several examples, including right triangles, to illustrate the applications and uses of the Pythagorean Theorem.

The Pythagorean Theorem works for something other than right triangles; show your class all it can do. Using information from the Pythagorean Theorem, the video shows how to determine whether a triangle is an acute or obtuse triangle....

Explaining the distance formula as "an application of the Pythagorean Theorem" might relieve some of your young mathematicians who are scratching their heads at all the new concepts. Sal demonstrates how to take the distance between any...

Need to find the length of a side of a right triangle? Just use the Pythagorean Theorem! Follow along as the tutor defines the Theorem, explains how it works, then uses it to determine the missing length of a right triangle. 

26-30, area, circumference, pythagorean theorem.

Reinforce the use of the Pythagorean theorem with this problem solving instructional activity. Middle schoolers use the Pythagorean theorem to solve word problems. They work in pairs to find the answers to the problems, and then explain...

Physics can make football players better. A creative video shows learners how to apply the Pythagorean Theorem to defensive situations. The first of a 10-part video series calculates the distance a defender needs to cover using right...
