1) Create three squares, one for each of the side lengths given on the card you received.2) Cut out the squares.3) Position the three squares on the blank paper so that the three squares create a triangle
in the middle (see diagram).4) Glue the squares into position, carefully lining up the corners. Do not allow the corners
to overlap or have gaps.5) Label the area of each square inside the square.6) Trace the sides of the triangle in marker.7) Measure the angles in the triangle and record the measures on the diagram.

Lesson Three: Pythagorean Theorem
• In a right triangle two sides are perpendicular to each other and the third side is the longest side.
• We can label the two perpendicular sides a and b (doesn’t matter which) and the third side (longest side) c.
• The longest side is also known as the hypotenuse.• The Pythagorean states: a2 + b2 = c2 Where c is
ALWAYS the hypotenuse of the longest side.

Lesson Three: Pythagorean Theorem
To solve a problem involving Pythagorean Theorem we need to get the variable by itself. Since the variable in Pythagorean Theorem is always squared, we need to undo the squaring.
The inverse (opposite) of adding is….
The inverse (opposite) of multiplying is…...
The inverse (opposite) if squaring is…….

Lesson Three: Pythagorean Theorem
The Pythagorean Theorem can help us to find unknown measurements in various shapes.
The length and width of a rectangle are 12 cm and 15 cm. Calculate the length of the diagonal.
15 cm
12 cmdd 2 = 152 + 122 d 2 = 225 + 144 d 2 = 369
369d
d = 19.2 cm
c2 = a2 + b2
Tanya is making a party hat using a cone made out of paper. Determine the height of the cone.b2 = c2– a2
h2 = 144
h = 12 cm
h2 = 132– 52 h2 = 169– 25
