Duyen's Math Scribe Post: Pages 110 & 111 Questions 3, 9, 13


Sorry for the bad quality because when I converted the PowerPoint to AuthorStream then to Youtube, it just killed the original quality. Also if you notice the words might seem squished or cut well it's not. It's just that when AuthorStream converted the file it converted it to make it fit to a smaller screen. By the way it's suppose to have music, but it didn't work on Authorstream.

Raelynn's Homework Book Post: pg. 33 Numbers 4,6,7

Pythagorean Relationship.
Homework Book pg. 33
Numbers 4, 6, 7.


4.) The foot of a ladder is 1m from a wall. If the ladder is 6cm long, how far up the wall does the ladder reach? Give the answer to the nearest tenth of a metre. Show your work.


a² - b² = c²
6² - 1² = c²
(6x6) - (1x1) = c²
36cm² - 1cm² = 35 cm²
35cm² = c²
√35cm² = √c²
5.9cm² = c² (round up will be 6)

It will be 5.9/6 far up the wall.




6.) The width of a rectangle is 8cm, and its diagonal is 17cm.










a) Calculate the length of the rectangle. Show your work.
c² - b² = a²
17² - 8² = a²
(17x17) - (8x8) = a²
289cm² - 64cm² = 225cm²
225cm² = c²
√225cm² = √c²
15cm² = c²

b) Calculate the area of the rectangle.
120cm²


7.) A quadrilateral has a width of 17cm and a length of 26cm. A diagonal is 31cm. Is the quadrilateral a rectangle? Justify your answer.



a² + b² = c²
26² + 17² = c²
(26x26) + (17x17) = c²
676cm² + 289cm² = 965cm²
965cm² = c²
√965cm² = √c²
31.06cm²

Answer: No, the corners do not meet at right angles because 17² + 26² ≠ 31²

b² = 105cm²
√b² = √105cm²
b = 10.2m



No the ramp is not a right triangle because the areas of the legs added up to 13m². The area of the hypotenuse on the other hand was 25m². For the shape to be a right triangle the two values would have to be equal.

A baseball diamond is a square. How could you determine the distance
from second base to home plate? How many different strategies can
you develop?Determine the length of leg s of the
right triangle

a2+ b2= c2
(27x27) + (27x27) = c2
729m(squared) + 729m(squared)
c21458= c2
1158cm(squared
c238.18m= c

• The Pythagorean relationship can be used to determine the leg length of a right triangle when the lengths of the hypotenuse and the other leg are known.



p2 + q2 = r2
p2 + 122 = 152
p2 + 144 = 225

1. Jack must determine the missing side length of a triangle. He decides to draw it and then measure it, as shown. Do you agree with the method that Jack is using? Explain


I do not agree because, one it would take to long, two when I drew a triangle on grid paper it was very hard to measure the hypotenuse, also its just a lot quicker to use Pythagorean relationships.








2.Kira calculated the missing side length of the right triangle.
y2 = 52+132
y2 = 25
169y2 = 194y2
≈ 13.9
The length of side y is approximately 13.9 cm. Is Kira correct? If she is correct, explain how you know. If she is incorrect,explain the correct method.

Kira is correct because 5x5=25 and 13x13=16
169+25=194
194 square root= 13.9


3. Determine the length of each hypotenuse.


a)
a2+b2=c2
a=12cm 12cm+16cm=c2
b=16cm 12x12=144cm
20cm 16x16=256
144+256=400
400 squared=20


b)
c2-a2=b2
a=16m 30m-16m-c2
b=25.3m 30x30=900
c=30m 16x16=256
900-256=644
644 square root=25.3


4. What is the length of each hypotenuse?
Give your answer to the nearest tenth of
a centimetre.
a)
a=6cm a2+b2=c2
b=7cm 6cm+7cm=c2
c=9.2cm 6x6=36
7x7=49
36+49=85
85 square rooted=9.2

b)
c2-b2=a2
a=7.5cm 11cm-8cm=a2
b=8cm 11x11=121
c=11cm 8x8=64
121-64=57
57 square rooted=7.5
