The Power of Algebra-Finding Pythagorean Triples


Description

The lesson starts with a quick review of the most important theorem in all of geometry and arguably in all of mathematics: the Pythagorean theorem. Students have already studied the Pythagorean theorem in Grade 8 and high school Geometry, have proven the theorem in numerous ways, and have used it in a wide variety of situations. Students are asked to prove it in yet a different way in the Problem Set to this lesson. The Pythagorean theorem plays an important role in both this module and the next.
