Question

Please help, will medal and fan;)

Answer 1

What do you need help with Little Pickle pie?

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

If you answer this, i will giive you medals evertime you help someone, just tag me ;)

Answer 4

Alright so, do you know what the Pythagorean Theorem is first of all, and how to any third side in a right angle triangle, given the other two sides?

Answer 12

Answer 13

somone wants to buy a giant pen, but the auit case is to small, so they need to see if it will go in diagonaly,

Answer 14

suit case lol

Answer 15

Okay that's a good example. Let's use that.

Answer 16

ok

Answer 17

So first of all, let's assume we can measure the length and width of the suitcase, but not its diagonal space, sounds reasonable?

Answer 18

yes.

Answer 19

Okay. So say we've measured one side of the suitcase to be any value x, and the perpendicular side (the side next to it, or height) to be y.

So we have one side being x (length), and the height (y). In order to find the diagonal space, we can imagine a line being drawn there, forming a triangle with x and y. This line is called the hypotenuse. Are you with me so far?
