Instructions

A “Pythagorean Triple” is a set of positive integers, a, b and c that fits the rule: a2+ b2= c2.

Here is a list of a few Pythagorean Triples:

(3, 4, 5)	(5, 12, 13)	(6, 8, 10)	(7, 24, 25)
(8, 15, 17)	(9, 40, 41)	(10, 24, 26)	(11, 60, 61)
(12, 35, 37)	(13, 84, 85)	(14, 48, 50)	(15, 112, 113)
(16, 63, 65)	(17, 144, 145)	(18, 80, 82)	(19, 180, 181)
(20, 21, 29)	(20, 99, 101)	(21, 220, 221)	(23, 264, 265)

Pick a Pythagorean Triple and use the Pythagorean Theorem to verify that

a2+ b2= c2. Create a presentation explaining your step-by-step approach to solving the problem. Your presentation should be done in PowerPoint with Voice Over and should be 1 – 2 minutes in length.
