Question

Has anybody done the Module 4 Activity for Geometry on FLVS? I don't understand what it's asking me to do?

Answer 1

you just started 10th right? im a junior and iv been on flvs for almost a year now it sucks!

Answer 2

Yeah I'm taking Pre Cal now but I skipped Geometry in middle school so I need the credit before I graduate

Answer 3

oh wow thats crazy, i went to three different school for 9th grade, i went to new york school then virginia then florida school so this year i have to finish up segmant two of algebra, while taking geometry and pre cal, and im bad in math

Answer 4

Oh I'm sorry I actually like math but when I'm done with Geo I am not taking anymore online classes unless it's mandatory. I prefer in class

Answer 5

Yea, me to, but i left traditional school thinking it was going to be easier, and i was wrong, cant wait to get back for senior year

Answer 6

I've done it.

Answer 7

@AshleyN134 : Please post your questions. Do not post the topic numbers like this. It's against the OS rules. Thank you!
happy Openstudying!

Answer 8

We have two Ashleys here! :O

Answer 9

Oh yeah I tell myself I hate school but I guess I should learn to appreciate it ahahaha and Ashley you did this Module?

Answer 10

Yes. Let me go see what I got on the assignment. I'm doing school work right now.

Answer 11

Ok thanks for the help

Answer 12

I got a 60%. I don't know if I would be of any help.

Answer 13

Oh ok but do you understand what they were asking for? I'm sure I could do it but I don't know what they want me to do

Answer 14

hopefully, this plays out correctly :)

Answer 15

is it the instructions? or the work? thats got you baffled ....

Answer 16

The instructions

Answer 17

if you post the instructions, we might be able to help decipher them ....

Answer 18

I don't know how

Answer 19

Basically, you have to make your own triangle examples and explain how they are special and how to find the missing sides and stuff. Step by step.

I'm sorry if that's not a very good explanation.

Answer 20

... hit the keys on the keyboard that correspond to the letters that make up the words that form the sentences in the instructions. once youve completed that, hit post :)

Answer 21

It's ok Ashley

Answer 22

Ahhh, I tried.

Answer 23

lol ! @amistre64

Answer 24

One teaching example for each of the four questions, which includes step by step instructions written in complete sentences.

If I know the lengths of two sides of a right triangle, how do I find the third?
Could I find the two missing side lengths of a right triangle if I only know one side length and one angle measure (other than the 90 degree angle)?
Could I find the two missing angle measures if I know some of the side lengths of a right triangle?
What makes a triangle a “special” right triangle? How can special right triangles help me find side lengths?

Help your friend out by doing the following for each of the questions in the email:
Create a unique teaching example for each question. Work through each example step by step, and use complete sentences to help your friend with the questions.
Use the following triangle for each of your examples:

Answer 25

Do you want an explanation of the instructions for each question?

Answer 26

If it's possible yes please

Answer 27

If I know the lengths of two sides of a right triangle, how do I find the third?

by applying the pythagorean thrm: a^2+b^2=c^2


Could I find the two missing side lengths of a right triangle if I only know one side length and one angle measure (other than the 90 degree angle)?

yes, using trig function


Could I find the two missing angle measures if I know some of the side lengths of a right triangle?

yes, using inverse trig functions


What makes a triangle a “special” right triangle? How can special right triangles help me find side lengths?

some basic memorizable triangles help with special cases like a
30-60-90 and 45-45-90

Answer 28

some other specials are called 3-4-5, and 5-12-13, these are known as pythagorean triples; if you come across a scaled version of these then you can relate it back

Answer 29

They want me to use an example and explain it step by step for each but I don't know how. Do they want like a problem? They also gave me a triangle that I'm suppose to use for the examples

Answer 30

it you can explain it like the material has explained it to you .... but in your own words .... thats all it amounts to.

Answer 31

According to my teacher, you aren't supposed to use that triangle, but your own.

Answer 32

You have to make up your own triangles and use those.

Answer 33

It says that I'm supposed to use the triangle that they gave me for each of the examples

Answer 34

I had to make up my own.

Answer 35

Yeah it wants me to use the triangle I guess I'll just call my teacher for further explanation

Answer 36

That would probably be the best thing to do, anyway. No one can explain an assignment better than a teacher can.

Answer 37

Yeah thanks for the help everyone

Answer 38

You're welcome!
