Monday ~ Today we finished up our Task 2 by writing a memo to the company explaining our new ramp lengths. We started this example in class & students just needed to finish it for homework.
Tuesday ~ We began working on Task 3 which was a final ramp design as well a a proof that the area we found was correct. This is a mostly in class project that we'll be finishing tomorrow. The dimensions for the final ramp are 24 feet high and 32 feet long.
Wednesday ~ We finished working on Task 3 today. Many students were able to finish in class, those who didn't need to finish it at home tonight. Here is a photo of what the project should look like.
Thursday ~ Today we discussed the converse of the Pythagorean Theorem. Basically you just need to take the 3 lengths they give you and plug them into the formula. If it is a true statement, the triangle is a right triangle. If not, then the triangle is NOT a right triangle. HW: Pg 468 # 13-18, 43
