DESCRIPTION
7.1 – Apply the Pythagorean Theorem. Pythagorean Theorem:. If a triangle is a right triangle, then ( hypotenuse ) 2 = (leg) 2 + (leg) 2. c. leg. hypotenuse. a. leg. b. ( hypotenuse ) 2 = (leg) 2 + (leg) 2. c 2 = a 2 + b 2. 1. Find the value of x. c 2 = a 2 + b 2. H. - PowerPoint PPT PresentationTRANSCRIPT
Pythagorean Theorem:

c2 = a2 + b2
(hypotenuse)2 = (leg)2 + (leg)2
If a triangle is a right triangle, then (hypotenuse)2 = (leg)2 + (leg)2
2. Find the area of the isosceles triangle.c2 = a2 + b2
102 = h2 + 82
100 = h2 + 64
