Sides of a Right Triangle
• Hypotenuse – the side of a right triangle opposite the right angle and the longest side.
• Legs – the sides of a right triangle that are not the hypotenuse.

The Pythagorean Theorem
• In a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the legs.

Pythagorean Triples
• A Pythagorean Triple is a set of 3 positive integers or whole numbers that satisfies the Pythagorean theorem.

If I am given 2 sides of a right triangle make up the sides of Pythagorean triple,
how do you find the missing side?
There are 2 possible scenarios:1. You are given both legs of the right triangle
and need to solve for the hypotenuse.
2. You are given one leg and one hypotenuse and need to solve for the other leg.

Given 2 sides: 20 and 25• Scenario 1. • 20 and 25 are the legs• 202 + 252 = x2
• 400 + 625 = x2
• 1025 = x2
• 32.02 = x• This cannot be the
answer for a Pythagorean triple because it is not a whole number.
• Scenario 2. • 20 and 25 are the leg
and hypotenuse• 202 + x2 = 252
• 400 + x2 = 625• x2 = 225• X = 25• This can be the answer
for a Pythagorean triple because it is not a whole number.

Find the area when given a leg and the hypotenuse
1. Find the other leg by plugging the known values into the Pythagorean Theorem.
2. Use the 2 legs in the formula for area of a triangle A = ½BH
