2. 3. 8.2 The Pythagorean Theorem and Its Converse D. Definitions: Pythagorean Theorem: In a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs is equal to the square of the length of the hypotenuse. Example: 10
Prove the Pythagorean Theorem using Geometric Means: Given: ABC is a right triangle with legs of length a and b and hypotenuse of length c. Prove: a 2 + b 2 = c 2 Part I. Prove triangles similar: Draw a perpendicular from C to the hypotenuse. Label the point of intersection X. 1) BXC BCA because 2) B B by 3) So, BXC~ BCA by 4) AXC ACB because 5) A A by 6) So, AXC~ ACB by Part II. Write proportions using Geometric Mean: Label AX = d and label XB = e. Use the fact that corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional to write two proportions. Proportion 1: Proportion 2: Part II. Set up the equations and solve. Start with getting a and b by itself in each proportion. (you will have a 2 and b 2 ). Next add the two equations together. Use factoring and the fact that e + d = c to solve for the Pythagorean theorem. 5. Pythagorean Triple: 6. Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem: 11
7. Acute Pythagorean Inequality Theorem: If the square of the length of the side of a triangle is less than the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides, then the triangle is a triangle. 8. Obtuse Pythagorean Inequality Theorem: If the square of the length of the longest side of a triangle is than the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides, then the triangle is an triangle.
