Pythagoras' Theorem

Use a right method to find a distance. Given a right triangle, class members find the length of one side given the measurement of the other two sides—the missing side may or may not be the hypotenuse. A video reminds the pupils how to...

In order to learn about the Pythagorean Theorem, young mathematicians investigate relations and patterns between different sides of a right triangle to look for possible relations among the squared sides. Once they have established the...

Crossing into the realm of geometry with this video, Sal introduces the Pythagorean Theorem to viewers. He uses several examples (and right triangles) to illustrate the uses and application of the Pythagorean Theorem.

Explore the relationship of the square of the sides of a right triangle. After developing the Pythagorean Theorem, the video instructor presents practice problems and their solutions. She calculates the hypotenuse and then a leg of a...

The Pythagorean Theorem works for something other than right triangles; show your class all it can do. Using information from the Pythagorean Theorem, the video shows how to determine whether a triangle is an acute or obtuse triangle....

Even Pythagoras couldn't explain it better. Scholars watch an informative video that shows how to solve for missing sides of a right triangle using the Pythagorean Theorem. It covers four examples: two for finding the hypotenuse and two...

Learners are introduced to the Pythagoras' Theorem and its history, proofs and practice in application. Students find perimeters, areas and volume of everyday objects. Learners state and explain the theory.

Learners explore the Pythagoras theorem. In this geometry lesson, students make right triangles and identify the parts of the triangle. Learners complete measurements of the sides of the triangle.

Middle and high schoolers research the life of Pythagoras and the Pythagorean theorem. They write a short biography of Pythagoras and learn to apply the theorem in their study of right triangles.

When does the Pythagorean Theorem come in handy? An intriguing video uses the Pythagorean Theorem to solve problems other than simply finding the length of a side of a right triangle. Pupils find the diagonal of a rectangle and the...
