This is a place for the community of learners in Room 8-41 to learn and enjoy math. It is an extension of the classroom making it accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
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.
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.
I thought of the height as the line going upwards↑, the base as the bottom_, and the hypotenuse is the longest leg. I used B as the unknown height. b² = c² - a² b² = 11² - 4² b² = 121 - 16 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.
Here is a video and a link to a fun-filled Pythagoras game. ←Click that for the game ☺
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 length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle when the lengths of the two legs are known.
a2+b2=c2
3cm+4cm=c2
3x3=9
4x4=16
9+16=25cm
25 square root=5
c=5
• 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.
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.
