How to USE The Converse of The Pythagorean Theorem | 8.G.B.6 💗

In this video lesson we will learn about the Converse of The Pythagorean Theorem. We will first review how to use the Triangle Inequality Theorem to determine if three lengths could form a triangle. We will then discover that the converse of the Pythagorean Theorem is reversing the if then statement. We will use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine if a a triangle is a right triangle. We will also use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine if a triangle is a right, obtuse or acute triangle. Student practice is embedded in the lesson with modeled exemplar solutions.
