Pythagorean theorem

1
Pythagorean theorem

• By Kory and Jeff

2
Pythagorean theorem

• The equation
• A2 B2 C2

3
Hypotenuse - C
Leg - A
leg - B
4
Steps

• the equation is A2 B2 C2.
• First figure out which numbers you need to
  square.
• square A and B and put it equal to C2.
• Then add the squared numbers together and set it
  equal to C2.
• You have to get rid of the square of C so set C
  equal to the square root of the sum of A and B.
• C equals the simplified, if possible, square root
  of A and B.

How it's used in everyday life
If an architect needed to have a piece of
concrete the shape of a right triangle and didnt
know the measure of the hypotenuse he could use
the Pythagorean Theorem to find the measurement

Example
A2 B2 C2 A13,B5,C? 132 52 C2
169 25 C2 194 C2
C

Now the architect knows the measure of the
hypotenuse of the right triangle.

Example 2
A 4, B 2, C ? C 42 22 C2 16 4
C2 20 C2 C

Example 3
Heres another type of question you might
see. Answer yes or no If C Then A
4 and B 2 The answer would be yes

conclusion
The Pythagorean Theorem is a fun but a
complicated method of figuring types of math
problems. Ms. Anderson is the best at teaching
this method because shes the best teacher in the
world and shes so nice that shes going to give
Jeff and Kory a passing grade. I hope that this
presentation has been helpful to the people that
didnt understand it before.If you still dont
understand then you should ask Ms. Anderson to
help you.
