okay well its kinda long so if it is too long it will be okay if u dont help... Part 1 Write your own real-world scenario where the Pythagorean Theorem can be applied to find a missing piece. You may choose to write a problem that is two- or three-dimensional in nature. Be sure that you will be able to draw a diagram of your scenario. Write out your problem and submit it for Part 1. Be sure to end your scenario with a question. Part 2 Draw a diagram of the scenario you created in Part 1. You may draw by hand and scan and upload your drawing or create a computer-generated drawing for submission. Be sure to label all parts and dimensions of the drawing. Part 3 Solve the question that you posed in Part 1. Show all of your steps in answering the question. For this option, you will need to submit all three parts for full credit—your real-world problem and question, the diagram that you created, and your work solving the problem, showing all steps. *Please note that your instructor is looking for your own original idea. While it is acceptable to use the Internet for research and inspiration, academic integrity policies apply.

part 1 u could just do this: A man looks at the top of a building. He is 3 metres from the base and the building is 20 m tall. Find the distance from his point to the top of the building 'x'.

Real world probles for that generally involve finding a missing height or length. Using this that are easy to measure to find something that is not.

x^2 = 20^2 + 3^2 (Pythagoras' Theorem) therefore x^2 = 409 Therefore x = 20.224 m (3d.p.)
