The Pythagorean Theorem is a staple of middle school geometry. Scholars first investigate angle relationships, both in triangles and in parallel lines with a transversal, before proving and applying the Pythagorean Theorem.

Here is a straightforward example of how to apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find an unknown side-length of a trapezoid. Commentary gives additional information on proving that the inside of the trapezoid is a rectangle, but is...

For this volume of solids worksheet, tenth graders solve and complete 20 various types of problems. First, they write the formula needed to find the volume of each solid. Then, pupils use the Pythagorean theorem to find the measure of...

Here is a cute problem that requires visualizing two-dimensional shapes within a three-dimensional object, and using properties of triangles and the Pythagorean theorem to solve a real-world problem. There is a small mistake in this...

Young mathematicians to the rescue! Pupils use an interactive to find lengths relating a ladder against a building. The problems involve determining how long a ladder must be to reach a given floor to what floor can a given ladder reach.

Pupils determine the distance between two given points. They use the distance formula to determine line length, as well as the length of the radius of a circle. The Pythagorean Theorem may also be used to determine line length. This...

Students create both a visual and formal proof of the Pythagorean theorem, as well as view four additional geometric demonstrations of the theorem. They construct a square and conjecture the following theorem: The sum of the areas of...

What does a squared and b squared make? C squared of course! The pre-test assesses eighth graders' knowledge of the Pythagorean Theorem, application of the Pythagorean Theorem, and finding volumes of solids. 

The class braids irrational numbers, Pythagoras, and perimeter together. The mini-assessment requires scholars to use irrational numbers and the Pythagorean Theorem to find perimeters of rugs. The rugs are rectangular, triangular,...

Pupils complete a review learning exercise that highlights the key problems from the first eight lessons in the series. Topics include the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse, as well as finding volume of three-dimensional figures.

By first starting with an explicit example of a radius and center point, this challenging lesson tries to help students gain an understanding of the Pythagorean theorem and the equation of a circle. Once they have accomplished the first...

Everyone's heard of Pythagoras, but who's Ptolemy? Learners test Ptolemy's Theorem using a specific cyclic quadrilateral and a ruler in the 22nd installment of a 23-part module. They then work through a proof of the theorem.

Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to coordinate geometry. Learners find the distance between two points on a coordinate plane by using the Pythagorean Theorem. The vertical and horizontal change creates a right triangle, which allows...

Find the shortest distance from A to B using the Pythagorean Theorem! Scholars learn they can find the distance between two points by creating a right triangle using the horizontal and vertical lengths and applying the Pythagorean...

Explore methods for finding the volume of different three-dimensional figures. The 20th lesson in the 25-part series asks learners to interpret diagrams of 3-D figures and use formulas to determine volume. Scholars must use the...

An excellent resource for a geometry class, as well as for an electrical engineering course. A thorough reference sheet covers geometric shapes such as triangles, parallelograms, and circles, as well as 3-D shapes and the Pythagorean...

Young scholars research the concept of the Pythagorean Theorem. In this Pythagorean Theorem lesson, students use the Internet to learn about the Pythagorean Theorem. Young scholars construct proofs of the Pythagorean Theorem.

Students are introduced to the Pythagorean theorem. They use three different activities that give students the opportuntiy to observe triangles, and use the Pythagorean theorem and practice different ways of determining areas of...

Students explore how the Pythagorean Theorem works and how to apply it.

In this geometric mean and Pythagorean Theorem worksheet, 10th graders solve 9 problems related to determining the geometric mean by applying the Pythagorean Theorem in each problem. First, they find the geometric mean between each pair...
