Pythagorean Theorem: Find the Missing Leg

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the legs, or a² + b² = c². In this two-page geometry worksheet, students will practice using the Pythagorean theorem to find missing leg lengths on right triangles. This eighth-grade practice worksheet is a helpful way to prepare students to solve real-world and mathematical problems involving right triangles. For more practice with the Pythagorean theorem, check out the Pythagorean Theorem: Find the Missing Hypotenuse worksheet!
