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
