Pythagoras gave us the Pythagorean relationship (or theorem), a formula for problem-solving with right triangles. We are going to work through some problems and try to determine what exactly the Pythagorean realtionship is and its usefulness in geometry!
On this page, work through the tip for finding the theorem, answering questions and making notes in your notebook as you work (this may help you later!). I will have cut outs of the shapes for you to use as you work through the activity.
Complete the task at this site. As you work through it, make jot notes in your notebook about the strategies you are using and your ideas about Pythagoras' theory.
If you have not yet figured out the relationship, this last activity will help. If you have, complete the activity regardless to confirm your hunch!
