Pythagorean Theorem

Mr. Mitchell introduces students to the Pythagorean Theorem. We will learn how to solve for both a missing hypotenuse and a missing leg of a right triangle.

@akamaria15 You're welcome. Glad it helped!

So how will i find out the area from this now?

[andrewdavidmitchell]

@Dillon1791

Multiply the lengths of the two legs (base and height). Then divide this answer by two, since it's half the size of a rectangle.

@Dillon1791 Sorry I was slow to reply: take the lengths of the two legs (short sides). Multiply them together, then divide by 2 (area of a triangle is always exactly half the area of a rectangle).
