14. Key terms
hypotenuse (n.)
the longest side of right triangle that has one angle of 90°
EG. The longest side of the triangle is called the
"hypotenuse".
15. Content words

EG. Pythagoras discovered an amazing fact about
triangle.
16. Pythagoras' Theorem
Over 2000 years ago Pythagoras discovered an amazing fact
about triangle.
“When the triangle has a right angle (90°) and squares are
made on each of the three sides, then the biggest square has the exact
same area as the other two squares put together.”
It is called "Pythagoras' Theorem" and can be written in one
short equation.
a2 + b2 = c2
17. The longest side of the triangle is called the "hypotenuse",
so the formal definition is
If we know the lengths of two sides of a right angled
triangle, we can find the length of the third side. (But
remember it only works on right angled triangles!)
In a right triangle:
the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of
the other two sides.
18. Present simple tense
