Pythagorean Theorem

Consider any right triangle where the short sides have lengths a and b and the hypotenuse has length c.
Then the Pythagorean theorem is a + b = c: c
a

b
Example Using the theorem, you have 6 + b = 10
10cm 36 + b = 100
6cm b = 100 36 so, b = 64
b = 64
b b = 8
Using the Pythagorean theorem, calculate the value of the missing length and draw an arrow to the matching answer in the middle of
the worksheet.
