Pythagorean Theorem

Master the Pythagorean Theorem! Practice finding missing sides in right triangles with our geometry worksheet.

Fill in the blank to complete the sentence. Pythagorean Theorem is used to find the missing side lengths in right triangles. The longest side of a right triangle, which is always across from the right angle, is called the hypotenuse. Label the legsand the hypotenuse of the right triangle. Leg Leg Hypotenuse Line segment d is a diagonal in each polygon shown below. Which drawing shows enough information to find the length of line segment d? Which figure can be placed along the segment labeled x millimeters to make the model below a correct representation of the Pythagorean Theorem? A B C D Look at the drawing below. If the three squares come together to form a right triangle as indicated in the drawing, what is the side length of the shaded square? Can the following set of lengths represent the sides of a right triangle?3, 6, 8 YES NO Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the measure of the missing sides. Round to the nearest tenth.
