Easy Pythagorean Theorem Proofs and Problems
In this lesson we will investigate easy Pythagorean Theorem proofs and problems.
The Pythagorean Theorem takes place in a right triangle. The longest side in a right triangle is called hypotenuse, and the other two sides are called legs. The hypotenuse opposes the right angle.
In the following picture, a and b are legs, and c is the hypotenuse.
According to the Pythagorean Theorem:
