Look at the right triangle and the squares on the sides of the triangle. The short leg is labled a, the longer leg is labled b, and the hypotenuse is labled c.
What is the area of the square on a?
What is the area of the square on b?
What is the area of the square on c?
What is the relationship of those areas?
The Pythagorean Theorem is written as a2 + b2 = c2
