The Pythagorean Theorem and its Converse

How Do You Find the Length of a Leg of a Right Triangle?

Finding the missing length of a side of a right triangle? If you have the other two side lengths, you can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve! Check out this tutorial and see how to use this really helpful theorem to find that missing side measurement!
How Do You Determine if a Triangle Is a Right Triangle if You Know its Sides?

Think your triangle is a right triangle? Want to be sure? If you have the length of each side, apply the Pythagorean theorem to the triangle. If you get a true statement when you simplify, then you do indeed have a right triangle! If you get a false statement, then you can be sure that your triangle is not a right triangle. Check out this tutorial and learn how use the Pythagorean theorem to see if a triangle is a right triangle!
What is the Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem?

The converse of the Pythagorean Theorem is like the the Pythagorean Theorem in reverse. You can use it both forward and backward! Not all theorems work this way, but the Pythagorean Theorem does! This tutorial will show you how to use both the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse.
What is the Pythagorean Theorem?

The Pythagorean theorem is a very popular theorem that shows a special relationship between the sides of a right triangle. In this tutorial, you'll get introduced to the Pythagorean theorem and see how it's used to solve for a missing length on a right triangle!
