C

500

True or False: 

The Pythagorean Theorem can only be used to find a missing hypotenuse

False

The PT process

100

What is the first step of Pythagorean Theorem?

Label each side of the triangle and identify what is missing

200

What is the second step of Pythagorean Theorem?

rewrite the pythagorean theorem by plugging in the side lengths of the triangle

300

Once you have added the values, what is your next step to find the length?

Square root both sides

400

Fill in the blanks: 

If the hypotenuse is the missing side, we ________ the values. 

If a leg is the missing side, we _______________ the values. 

Add, Subtract

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.
