Use Pthgoren inequlities to lssif tringles. Voulr Pthgoren triple Wh lern this? You n use the Pthgoren Theorem to determine whether ldder is in sfe position. (See Emple 2.) The Pthgoren Theorem is prol the most fmous mthemtil reltionship. The theorem sttes tht in right tringle, the sum of the squres of the lengths of the legs equls the squre of the length of the hpotenuse. The Pthgoren Theorem is nmed for the Greek mthemtiin Pthgors, who lived in the sith entur..e. However, this reltionship ws known to erlier people, suh s the lonins, Egptins, nd hinese. There re mn different proofs of the Pthgoren Theorem. The one elow uses re nd lger. The re of squre with side length s is given the formul = s 2. The re of tringle with se nd height h is given the formul = 2 h. PROOF Pthgoren Theorem Given: right tringle with leg lengths nd nd hpotenuse of length Prove: = 2 Proof: rrnge four opies of the tringle s shown. The sides of the tringles form two squres. The re of the outer squre is ( + ) 2. The re of the inner squre is 2. The re of eh lue tringle is 2. re of outer squre = re of lue tringles + re of inner squre ( + ) 2 = ( _ 2 ) + 2 Sustitute the res = = 2 Simplif. Sutrt 2 from oth sides.
