Description

Paint the right triangles with the right amount of paint using the Pythagorean Theorem!

Vocabulary Words

pythagorean theorem
hypotenuse
legs
right triangle
square root

Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Apply Pythagorean Theorem To Find Missing Side. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.

Main Concepts

The Pythagorean Theorem applied to all right triangles and states the square of the hypotenuse (longest side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the square of the two other sides, or a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Substitute values for the length of legs or leg and hypotenuse to determine missing side.
If given hypotenuse (c) and a leg (a) use: c^2 - a^2 = b^2
Determine the missing side length in a right triangle.
Solve real-world and mathematical problems that involve the Pythagorean Theorem.

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

In this game, you will be learning about the Pythagorean Theorem - what do you think that is? What do all right triangles have in common? If we know the length of both legs in a right triangle, how can we find the length of the hypotenuse? If we know the length of one leg and the hypotenuse of a right triangle, how can we find the length of the other leg?

After the Game

How can the Pythagorean Theorem be used in real life? Can the Pythagorean Theorem be used with other triangle types? How is the Pythagorean Theorem used to find the length of the hypotenuse? How is the Pythagorean Theorem used to find the length of a leg?
