Pythagorean Theorem Essential Questions
How is the Pythagorean Theorem used to identify side lengths?
When can the Pythagorean Theorem be used to solve real life patterns?

This is a right triangle:

We call it a right triangle because it contains a right angle.

The little square

About 2,500 years ago, a Greek mathematician named Pythagorus discovered a special relationship between the sides of right triangles.
![Page 8: A b c. Pythagorean Theorem Essential Questions How is the Pythagorean Theorem used to identify side lengths? When can the Pythagorean Theorem be used](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649cac5503460f9496eb7a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Pythagorus realized that if you have a right triangle,

and you square the lengths of the two sides that make up the right angle,

11 Understand the Problem
Rewrite the question as a statement.
• Find the distance from one corner of the field to the opposite corner of the field.
• The segment between the two corners is the hypotenuse.
• The sides of the fields are legs, and they are 33 yards long and 100 yards long.
List the important information:
• Drawing a segment from one corner of the field to the opposite corner of the field divides the field into two right triangles.

A baseball “diamond” is really a square.
You can use the Pythagorean theorem to find distances around a baseball diamond.

The distance between
consecutive bases is 90
feet. How far does a
catcher have to throw
the ball from home
plate to second base?

Baseball Problem
To use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for x, find the right angle.
Which side is the hypotenuse?
Which sides are the legs?
Now use: aa22 + b + b22 = c = c22

Baseball ProblemSolution
• The hypotenuse is the distance from home to second, or side x in the picture.
• The legs are from home to first and from first to second.
• Solution:
x2 = 902 + 902 = 16,200
x = 127.28 ft

Ladder Problem
A ladder leans against a second-story window of a house. If the ladder is 25 meters long, and the base of the ladder is 7 meters from the house, how high is the window?

Ladder ProblemSolution
• First draw a diagram that shows the sides of the right triangle.
• Label the sides: – Ladder is 25 m
– Distance from house is 7 m
• Use a2 + b2 = c2 to solve for the missing side.
Distance from house: 7 meters
