Pythagorean Theorem and Angles

Angle 2 is 115°, that would make angle 1

65

If angle a is 35°, angle b is

65

12

Find b: a=5 b=? c=13

c, and the longest side of a right triangle

Hypotenuse

No

Is this a right triangle: a=4, b=6, c=9

labeled a and b, the other two sides of the right triangle

Leg

the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

Pythagorean Theorem

a triangle where one angle is guaranteed to be 90 degrees.

Right Triangle

yes

Would these three sides form a right angle 8, 15, 17

5

a=3 b=4 c=?

10

a=6 b=8 c=?

25

a=7 b=24 c=?

two angles that add up to 90°

complementary angles

Angles 1 and 2 are corresponding angles, which means they are ______________________

congruent

same size and same value

congruent

The longest side of a right triangle. It is always opposite of, and never is a part of, the right angle.

hypotenuse

Math operations that reverse the effect of each other.

inverse operations

Either of the two shortest sides of a right triangle, they meet at a common vertex to form a right angle.

leg

The sum of the squares of the legs of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

pythagorean theorem

An angle of exactly 90 degrees.

right angle

The result of multiplying a number by itself.

square

two angles that add up to 180°
