In this module you will learn how to use the Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem.
You can use the converse to verify whether a triangle is a right triangle or not given side lengths. If the sum of the lengths of the legs squared is equal to the length of the hypotenuse squared then you have a Right Triangle. |
The Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem can also be used to verify whether a triangle is acute or obtuse. You can use the following theorems to verify whether a triangle is acute or obtuse given side lengths.
We will add these theorems to your Ch. 7 Theorem Notes.
