Instructions
A “Pythagorean Triple” is a set of positive integers, a, b and c that fits the rule: a2+ b2= c2.
Here is a list of a few Pythagorean Triples:
|
(3, 4, 5) |
(5, 12, 13) |
(6, 8, 10) |
(7, 24, 25) |
|
(8, 15, 17) |
(9, 40, 41) |
(10, 24, 26) |
(11, 60, 61) |
|
(12, 35, 37) |
(13, 84, 85) |
(14, 48, 50) |
(15, 112, 113) |
|
(16, 63, 65) |
(17, 144, 145) |
(18, 80, 82) |
(19, 180, 181) |
|
(20, 21, 29) |
(20, 99, 101) |
(21, 220, 221) |
(23, 264, 265) |
Pick a Pythagorean Triple and use the Pythagorean Theorem to verify that
a2+ b2= c2. Create a presentation explaining your step-by-step approach to solving the problem. Your presentation should be done in PowerPoint with Voice Over and should be 1 – 2 minutes in length.
