Mr. ivin's algebra class is learning the pythagorean theorem. he has two students that are auditory learners and are struggling with the concept. what activity would best help them learn the theorem?



Answer :

In a right - angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse of a triangle is equal to the sum of the square of the other two sides.

Step 1: Make a right - angled triangle with base, perpendicular and hypotenuse has length of their side a, b, c respectively.

Step 2: Make squares on the base, perpendicular and hypotenuse with side length a, b and c respectively.

Step 3: Now measure the area of square with side b and a, which are on perpendicular and base of a triangle respectively.

Step 4: Measure the area of the with side c, which is on the hypotenuse of a triangle, area is: [tex]c^{2}[/tex].

Step 5: Add the area of squares with sides a and b, sum of their area is: [tex]a^{2} + b^{2}[/tex].

Observation and Result:

We will notice that the area of square with side a and b is equal to the area of square with side c.

[tex]a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}[/tex]

∴ The square of the hypotenuse in a right-angled triangle is equal to the sum of the square of the other two sides.
