Student Expectations
8th Grade:
• 8.3.7C Use pictures or models to demonstrate the Pythagorean theorem.
• 8.4.9A Use the Pythagorean theorem to solve real-life problems.
About 2,500 years ago, a Greek mathematician named Pythagoras discovered a special relationship between the sides of right triangles.

You can use The Pythagorean Theorem to solve many kinds of problems.
Suppose you drive directly west for 48 miles,
48
And you end up 60 miles from where you started.
48
3660
So, since c2 is 3600, c is 60.So, since c2 is 3600, c is
