The Proof of the Pythagorean Theorem
In this lesson, students learn about right triangles and the Pythagorean Theorem. They find out how to spot a right triangle by looking for a corner with a 90-degree angle, called a "right angle." Then, they discover that the longest side of a right triangle is called the "hypotenuse." By connecting squares to the sides of right triangles, students learn that the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides, which shows them the Pythagorean Theorem. This helps them solve problems, like finding missing side lengths of right triangles or proving if a triangle is a right triangle.
