Pythagorean Theorem Project

• Prove the 3, 4, 5 right triangle, the 6, 8, 10 or the 12, 13, 15 and a triangle of your choice. In addition, you can also prove the theorem using the proof we discussed in class or using the lenghts of three squares. (See link.)


• Measure and cut out the two triangles


• Evaluate a^2+ b^2= c^2 for both triangles


• Form your own conclusion about whether the Pythagorean Theorem works


• Make sure the project is neat
  
• Include your Name and Class
