The Pythagorean Theorem is one of the most well known and widely used mathematical relationships in history. In this program, Pythagoras himself walks students through the theorem, offering practice problems and detailed explanations along the way. Parts of a right triangle are identified, hypotenuse and leg lengths are measured, and areas are calculated, while practical applications of the theorem illustrate how geometry can be put to work in the real world.
