The Pythagorean theorem states that for any right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. The document provides the equation A2 + B2 = C2 and uses it to solve two example problems, finding the missing side in each case. It concludes by celebrating understanding of how to apply the Pythagorean theorem to solve for unknown sides of right triangles.

1. Pythegorean Theorem

2. The Equation for the Pythagorean Theorem is A 2 + B 2 = C 2

3. Example #1: A = 4 B = 5 C = ??? A 2 + B 2 = C 2 4 2 + 5 2 = C 2 8 + 15 = C 2 23 = C 2 23 = 4.7

4. A = ?? B = 6 C = 10 Example #2: A 2 + 6 2 = 10 2 A 2 + 36 = 100 A 2 = 100 – 36 A 2 = 64

5. And now you know how to do the Pythagorean Theorem!  YAY! 
