Pythagorean Theorem Project
Learning Objective: Student will be able to prove that the Pythagorean Theorem can be used to find the measure of a missing side of right triangle.
TASK:
• Measure and cut out two triangles. You can use 3, 4, 5 or 5, 12, 13 as the legs and hypotenuse and measurements of your choice. You may also prove the theorem using the lengths of three squares or any other mathematical sound procedure.
• Evaluate a2+ b2= c2 for both triangles
• Form your own conclusion/ proof about whether the Pythagorean Theorem works
