Welcome to Week 3!
Monday: We worked on finding the missing side in a right triangle. Homework: Pg 467 # 4, 5, 11, 12, & Pg 501, #18-20. Pythagorean Theorem Video
Tuesday: Today we worked on word problems and real world examples of the Pythagorean Theorem. Remember to draw your picture to help you find which side you're looking for! HW: Pg 467, # 6, 19, 34, 44
Wednesday: We worked on using Pythagorean Theorem to find the distance between 1 points on a graph. There is a formula, but it is big and ugly! Instead, plot the 2 points, connect them and draw a right triangle. Then count the length of each side and plug it into our formula. HW: Pg 479 # 11-14
Thursday: Task 1 was on the agenda for today! Attached are the necessary papers you need to complete the work. to get a 3 out of 3, You'll need to draw the 3 triangles, label them correctly and find the the correct answer (in feet). To get some extra credit, you'll need to explain how you know your ramp length is correct (think of using the longest side & shortcut method). Task 1 Instructions Ramp A Ramp B Ramp C
Friday: Today we did Task 2. The company has come back and said they want to see each of the ramps with the height increased by 5 feet. Complete these drawings and calculations correctly to earn 3 out of 3. To get a 4, you'll need to find the ramp length if you increased the height by 10 feet. We did 1 example in class.
