کاربرگ Proving the Pythagorean Theorem

Support students as they work their way through a proof of the Pythagorean theorem with this eighth-grade geometry worksheet! In Proving the Pythagorean Theorem, learners are presented with two congruent squares, each made up of right triangles and one or two squares. Students will write the area of each square and then write and simplify an equation to show that a2 + b2 = c2. This helpful worksheet provides an accessible way for learners to think about how to construct logical mathematical arguments and builds a foundation for higher-level proof writing. Take a deeper dive with the Pythagorean theorem by having learners complete the Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem: Is It a Right Triangle? worksheet next!
