Mr. Richey asked his 8th graders "Do you remember how to add?" and they replied....
SUM-times
In the Pythagorean theorem equation, what letter represents the hypotenuse?
C
Fill in the blanks:

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the missing leg for the triangle whose other leg is 7 and whose hypotenuse is 25.
24
Why can't you trust your math teacher?
Because they are always plotting
True or False:
The Pythagorean Theorem can only be used to find a missing hypotenuse
False
How did Pythagoras use his discovery to help his father.
He used the Pythagorean Theorem to find the distance between two islands, so his father can sail directly to the island.
