Pythagorean Theorem to Classify Triangles: Missing Angles

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Pythagorean Theorem to Classify Triangles: Missing Angles interactive also includes:
  • The Pythagorean Theorem and the Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem
  • Student Reference
  • Join to access all included materials

Learn to use the Pythagorean Theorem with non-right triangles. Pupils use the interactive to discover the relationship between the lengths of sides for acute and obtuse triangles. They compare the squares of the sides of the triangles to determine whether a triangle is acute, right, or obtuse.
