Pythagorean Theorem, Right Triangles and Trigonometry, Geometry

Participants who use this resource will apply the Pythagorean Theorem to show whether or not the shaded triangle inscribed in a rectangle is a right triangle. Once all of the sides on the shaded triangle are found, it is important that...

Challenge scholars to prove the Pythagorean Theorem geometrically by using a cut-and-paste activity. They then must solve for the missing sides of right triangles.

As the fourth part of a series on the Pythagorean Theorem, Sal continues an exploration of the ways to calculate the length of sides of a right triangle using algebra. He also used this theorem to solve problems involving a right...

This lecture, the second in a series on the Pythagorean Theorem, delves into more complex problems. Primarily, it examines the process of finding the value of a hypotenuse. It is beneficial because the example problem is one in which the...

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. 

Middle and high schoolers research the life of Pythagoras and the Pythagorean theorem. They write a short biography of Pythagoras and learn to apply the theorem in their study of right triangles.

Middle and high schoolers use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine the length of the sides of a right triangle. They solve distance problems. This one-page instructional activity contains 10 multiple-choice problems. This is...

What are all the parts of a right triangle called? What makes it a right triangle? Legs? Triangles have legs? Hypotenuse? Pythagorean Theorem? The instructor diagrams and identifies all the parts of a right triangle for you.

Use the Pythagorean Theorem formula to check if this given triangle, with the given lengths of each side, is a right triangle. It's as simple as plugging the given values into the formula and doing the math to see if the solution checks...
