Title: Use the Pythagorean theorem during a problem-solving activity.
Course: Technology Foundations (21003-36) > Section: Exploring Technology Foundations

Use should include the following concepts:

- Triangles are used as a strong shape in construction.
- The Pythagorean theorem is used for right triangles.
- The hypotenuse is the side of the triangle that does not have a right angle.
- The square root of the hypotenuse is equal to the square root of the sum of the squares of the other two sides (a² + b² = √c²).

Process/Skill Questions:

- What is a right triangle?
- Why might we need to know the hypotenuse?
- What triangles might we use in constructing things?
- What does square of a number mean?
- What does square root of a number mean?
