What does the Pythagorean Theorem state?

If you square the length of the legs of a right triangle and add that up, you will get the length of the hypotenuse squared.

What is the hypotenuse of a right triangle?

It is the side that is opposite the right angle.

If the hypotenuse is 41 cm and the legs are 9 cm and 39 cm, does this form a right triangle?

No

The area of three squares are 25, 36, and 81 cm. Can they form a right triangle?

What can you find using the Pythagorean Theorem?

You can find the length of one side if you know the length of the other sides of a right triangle.

What do you need to do to find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle if you know the lengths of the legs?

You square the length of the legs and add that up. Then you find the square root of the sum. The answer is the length of the hypotenuse.

Which expression can you utilize to find the length of the hypotenuse?
