We continued our work with the pythagorean theorem today by going over how to use the converse of the theorem to verify if the figure is a right triangle. We also used the theorem to classify triangles as either obtuse or acute based on the results of using the pythagorean theorem. We watched a short video clip about the history of the theorem as well to give students a background of how the idea came about and what it was used for.
