Pythagorean Theorem (Theorem 36)
In a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of
the lengths of the legs.

c2  a2  b2
 C

Given right triangle ABC with right  ACB a b

Prove: c 2  a 2  b 2 h

B m n A
D

Statements Reasons
1. Draw CD  AB. There is one and only one line
perpendicular to a given line from an
external point.
2. CD is the altitude to AB. Definition of Altitude

h 2  mn Geometric Mean Theorem

3. a 2  m(m  n)
b 2  n( m  n)
4. a 2  b 2  m(m  n)  n(m  n) Addition Property of Equality

5. a 2  b 2  (m  n)(m  n) Factoring
6. m  n  c Definition of Between

(c)(c)  a 2  b 2 Substitution Property and Simplifying

7.
c2  a2  b2

A set of three positive integers a, b, and c that satisfies the equation c  a  b is called a

Pythagorean Triple.
Example of Pythagorean Triples are {3, 4, 5}, {5, 12, 13}, and {7, 24, 25}. Note that any positive
multiple of these Pythagorean triples are also Pythagorean triples.

Illustrative Examples:

1. Find the width of this rectangle.

b
12 cm

13 cm
a c x

2. Find the missing lengths. A
