Course: 7 th Grade Math DETAIL LESSON PLAN Wednesday, January 25 / Thursday, January 26 Student Objective (Obj. 3e) TSW use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing length of a side of a right triangle. Lesson 8-7 Pythagorean Theorem Textbook Pages: 405-408 Homework Mixed Review Sheet (8 problems) Last Night s Homework Angle Worksheet (11 problems) Bellwork Angle quiz. Prior Knowledge During our last class, we learned about the different types of angles. We learned that a right angle has 90. Today, we will be working with a particular type of triangle called a Right Triangle. Anticipatory Set Display transparency What is a Right Triangle Day 1 Display transparency Pythagorean Theorem We will learn how to find the missing length of a side on a RIGHT triangle. To help us, we ll use a special formula called the Pythagorean Theorem! What is the Pythagorean Theorem and how is it used in the real world? Display transparency: What is the Pythagorean Theorem? Display transparency: Find that Right Triangle! Why learn this? Well, if given the length of two sides of a triangle, we can find the missing side by using the Pythagorean Theorem. As seen in our introduction, band directors may need to find the length of the diagonal of a football field in order to determine where to best place band members during a halftime routine! Teacher Input Review bellwork quiz. Review homework. Define right triangle. Explain what the Pythagorean Theorem is and how it is used with right triangles. Display transparencies Find the Right Triangle! to introduce today s lesson on the Pythagorean Theorem. Pass out student notes. Talk about important things to know about Right Triangles. Demonstrate how to find the length of a missing hypotenuse using the Pythagorean Theorem. Guide students through example problem using special scratch paper. Demonstrate how to find the length of a missing leg using the Pythagorean Theorem. Guide students through example problem using special scratch paper. Have students work you try problem.

Student Notes Lesson 8-7 Pythagorean Theorem Textbook Pages 405 408 Leg (A) Hypotenuse (C) The Pythagorean Theorem: Leg (B) To find the missing length of a side on a Right triangle, follow the steps below. Step 1: Plug-in the information that you know into the equation. Step 2: Simplify the equation by... finding the squares of the sides you know getting the variable alone on one side of the equal sign (if necessary) Step 3: Find the square root of your number. Find the missing hypotenuse. (Round to the nearest tenth) a = 2 ft b = 5 ft c =? Step 1 : Plug-in Step 2 : Simplify You Try! Step 3: Square Root Answer: c = 5.38516 or 5.4 ft rounded Find the missing hypotenuse where: a = 8 in b = 15 in c =? Step 1: Step 2: Step 3: c = in
Find the missing leg. (Round to the nearest tenth) Step 1 : Plug-in 7 cm b 14 cm Step 2 : Simplify Get variable alone by subtracting 49 from both sides Step 3: Square Root Answer: b = 12.1243 or 12.1 cm rounded You Try! Find the missing leg. Step 1: Step 2: Step 3: a = m a 8 m 10 m
