Pythagorean Theorem

The Pythagorean Theorem program is a quick and efficient way to work with right triangles on your TI-84 Plus CE calculator. Whether you're solving for a missing side or verifying whether a triangle is a right triangle, this tool simplifies the process and helps you avoid manual errors.

What Does This Program Do?

This program is designed with two primary functions:

1. Find the missing side of a right triangle when given the other two side lengths.
2. Check if a triangle is a right triangle by inputting all three side lengths and verifying if they satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem.

Both features are easy to access through a straightforward menu, making this an ideal tool for students in geometry, trigonometry, or algebra.

Why Use It?

Solving triangles by hand can be time-consuming, especially under pressure during class or tests. This program:

• Speeds up calculations
• Reduces input errors
• Saves time on homework and exams
• Reinforces understanding of the Pythagorean Theorem

It’s perfect for checking your work or handling complex triangle problems more efficiently.

Basic Usage

1. Transfer the program to your TI-84 Plus CE using TI Connect and a USB cable.
2. Launch the program from the PRGM menu.
3. Choose one of the two functions:
   • Solve for a missing side
   • Verify if a triangle is a right triangle
4. Enter the side lengths as prompted.
5. Get instant results!
