Pythagorean Theorem

If you'd like your lesson on the Pythagorean Theorem to be fun and engaging, check out a math puzzle activity for high schoolers. Your learners will enjoy this visual puzzle that shows how the Pythagorean Theorem works.

Amaze your classes with the ability to find side lengths of triangles immediately — they'll all want to know your trick! Learners use the Pythagorean Theorem and special right triangle relationships to find missing side lengths.

Challenge scholars to prove the Pythagorean Theorem geometrically by using a cut-and-paste activity. They then must solve for the missing sides of right triangles.

Transform your pupils into mathematicians as they learn to prove the popular Pythagorean Theorem. The 16th lesson in the series of 25 continues by teaching learners how to develop a proof. It shows how to prove the Pythagorean Theorem...

In this pythagorean theorem worksheet, students identify the missing length of one side for 10 triangles. Each triangle gives the lengths of two sides and students must find the length of the third. 

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....

As the second in a series on the Pythagorean Theorem, this lecture delves into some more difficult problems. Primarily, it examines the process for finding the value of a hypotenuse. It is particularly helpful because the example problem...

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.

As the second in a series on the Pythagorean Theorem, this lecture delves into some more difficult problems. Primarily, it examines the process for finding the value of a hypotenuse. It is particularly helpful because the example problem...

Need to find the length of a side of a right triangle? Just use the Pythagorean Theorem! Follow along as the tutor defines the Theorem, explains how it works, then uses it to determine the missing length of a right triangle.
