Answer Key

Total Problems: 8

1.FIND LEG B

b =24

1. Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c² (for right triangles)

2. Rearrange for Leg b: b² = c² − a²

3. Substitute Values: b² = 26² − 10² = 676 − 100 = 576

2.FIND HYPOTENUSE c

c =15

1. Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c² (for right triangles)

2. Substitute Legs: 9² + 12² = c²

3. Calculate Squares: 81 + 144 = 225 = c²

3.FIND HYPOTENUSE c

c =15

1. Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c² (for right triangles)

2. Substitute Legs: 9² + 12² = c²

3. Calculate Squares: 81 + 144 = 225 = c²

4.FIND HYPOTENUSE c

c =41

1. Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c² (for right triangles)

2. Substitute Legs: 9² + 40² = c²

3. Calculate Squares: 81 + 1600 = 1681 = c²

5.FIND LEG A

a =8

1. Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c² (for right triangles)

2. Rearrange for Leg a: a² = c² − b²

3. Substitute Values: a² = 17² − 15² = 289 − 225 = 64

6.FIND HYPOTENUSE c

c =20

1. Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c² (for right triangles)

2. Substitute Legs: 12² + 16² = c²

3. Calculate Squares: 144 + 256 = 400 = c²

7.FIND HYPOTENUSE c

c =25

1. Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c² (for right triangles)

2. Substitute Legs: 15² + 20² = c²

3. Calculate Squares: 225 + 400 = 625 = c²

8.FIND LEG B

b =4

1. Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c² (for right triangles)

2. Rearrange for Leg b: b² = c² − a²

3. Substitute Values: b² = 5² − 3² = 25 − 9 = 16

The Most Common Pythagorean Triple Families

Students who memorize the foundational triple families develop rapid geometric intuition without needing scratch paper:

The 3-4-5 Family: 3² + 4² = 9 + 16 = 25 = 5². Multiples: (6, 8, 10), (9, 12, 15), (12, 16, 20), (15, 20, 25).
The 5-12-13 Family: 5² + 12² = 25 + 144 = 169 = 13². Multiples: (10, 24, 26), (15, 36, 39).
The 8-15-17 Family: 8² + 15² = 64 + 225 = 289 = 17². Multiples: (16, 30, 34).
The 7-24-25 Family: 7² + 24² = 49 + 576 = 625 = 25².
The 9-40-41 Family: 9² + 40² = 81 + 1600 = 1681 = 41².

How to Test if 3 Given Numbers Form a Pythagorean Triple

To verify any set of three numbers (a, b, c):

Identify the largest number and set it as candidate hypotenuse c.
Square all three values: calculate a², b², and c².
Check if the sum of the two smaller squares equals the largest square: a² + b² = c².
If both sides are equal, the numbers form a true Pythagorean triple and define a perfect right triangle!
