Section 9.3

Daily Homework Quiz Copy Down and Solve

Aim
How do we use the Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem to solve problems? How do we use side lengths to classify triangles by their angle measures?

Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem

If the square of the length of the longest side of a triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides, then the triangle is a right triangle. B
a C c A

If c2 = a2 + b2 , then ABC is a right triangle.

Checkpoint 1

The triangles below appear to be right triangles. Are they??


b.

a. 7 10

6 5 6

13.4

12

No.

102

72

13.42

Yes! 6 12 6 5
2 2

Acute Triangle Theorem

If the sum of the squares of the lengths of the two short sides is greater than the length of the longest side squared, then the triangle is acute.
A

If a2 + b2 > c2, then ABC is acute.

b C

Obtuse Triangle Theorem

If the sum of the squares of the lengths of the two short sides is less than the length of the longest side squared, then the triangle is obtuse.
A c b

If a2 + b2 < c2, then ABC is obtuse.

Checkpoint 2

Classify the triangles with the following side lengths as right, acute, or obtuse.

a. 8, 18, 24 82 + 182 _?_ 242 64+324 _?_ 576 388 < 576 Obtuse!!

b. 3.2, 4.8, 5.1 3.22 + 4.82 _?_ 5.12 10.24+23.04 _?_ 26.01 33.28 > 26.01 Acute!!

Checkpoint 3

Is it a triangle? If so, classify it!


b. 21, 28, 35 212 + 282 _?_ 352 441 + 784 _?_ 1225

a. 2, 10, 12 Not a triangle!!

1225 = 1225
Right!!

Summarizer
