Agenda: 1. Do Now 2. I Do: Theorem 3. We Do: Examples 4. You Do: Triangle Mosaic Project 5. Exit Ticket

Objective: I will be able to apply the Pythagorean Theorem to compute missing side lengths. Assessment: Triangle Mosaic Project

Why?
Being able to establish similarity in geometric shapes allows us to establish ratios for corresponding sides. The Pythagorean Theorem helps us to establish how sides of triangles are calculated
