PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM PRACTICE
Pythagorean theorem: If a triangle is a right triangle, then the sum of the squares of the length of the two legs is equal to the square of the length of the hypotenuse. Converse of the Pythagorean theorem: If the sum of the squares of the lengths of the two shorter sides is equal to the square of the length of the longest side, then the triangle is a right triangle.
Use the Pythagorean theorem and its converse to answer these questions: 1. Draw the squares on the legs and the square on the hypotenuse of the right triangle below. 2. Find the area of each square and fill in the blanks to show the Pythagorean relationship.
Area equation: (_____) + (_____) = (_____) 3. Find the length of each side of the triangle and fill in the blanks to show the Pythagorean
relationship.
Side length equation: (_____)2 + (_____)2 = (_____)

PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM PRACTICE (continued) 4. A classmate suggests that a triangle with side lengths of 4, 5, and 9 units is a right triangle.
Use the Pythagorean theorem to show that this must be incorrect. 5. A right triangle has legs of lengths 5 and 12 units. What is the length of its hypotenuse? 6. Notice that the answer to problem #5 is a whole number. When all three sides of a right
triangle have whole number side lengths, the three numbers are called a Pythagorean triple. Are the side lengths of the triangle in problem #1 a Pythagorean triple? Explain your answer.
7. Find another example of a Pythagorean triple in this lesson. Draw the right triangle and

this cannot be a right triangle. 10. Latonya said, “The third side of triangle T is 61 inches long, because
