Adjust the points B and C bellow and examine how the areas of the squares change. Make a conjecture about the pythagorean theorem that is supported by this work.
Pythagorean Theorem
Create a right triangle with an area of 24 units squared. 30 units squared. 60 units squared. What are their leg lengths? What does this tell you about the Pythagorean Theorem?
Can you find the shortest distance between Point A and Point B? HINT: Try creating a right triangle, then use Pythagorean Theorem!
