Exploring Pythagoras' Theorem
Investigate Pythagoras' Theorem by changing the size of the red triangle using the blue circles.
You can also rotate the square on the hypotenuse (longest side) labeled C using the black dot in the corner.
Find the Area of each square
sides of the right angle triangle is a=4 b=3 c=5
What do you notice about the area of
these three squares? Check
and write a rule for what do you explore
Drag the blue point to set the a=3 b=4
Repeat the same step by setting anther a and b
WHAT DO YOU NOTICE ?
WRITE THE RULE
CAN WE USE THIS RULE FOR ANY RIGHT ANGLE TRIANGLE ?
