Question

so our teacher out on maternity leave and the sub dont know please help with Pythagorean theorem

Answer 1

That's alright, we're here to help!

First off, do you know the pythagorean theorem?

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

yea

Answer 3

Okay, good! So now we have these diagonal lines on your diagram

we want to give it two sides to make it a triangle so that way we can use the Pythagorean theorem and find the hypotenuse of the triangle and that would be the distance between the two points

Does that make sense?

Answer 5

okay so for your first question, let's draw it

Answer 6

Do you see the triangle?

Answer 8

So do you know what vertical and horizontal mean?

vertical is a straight line like going up like
|
|
|
|



and horizontal is a straight line like the horizon

right

Answer 10

You don't need to quote every message haha

Answer 11

So what would be the length of the vertical part and the horizontal part?

Remember each block is going to count as 1

Answer 12

How do you peopel know this. SO smart

Answer 13

4 is vertical
3 is horizontal

Answer 14

lol

right

Answer 16

Wonderful! So now you have numbers

and those are the legs of the triangle

so a^2 + b^2 = c^2

so put those two numbers as `a` and `b`
and we have to solve for `c`

3^2 + 4^2 = c^2

what is 3^2 =
what is 4^2 =

Answer 17

Yea im in 6th I have no idea what this is hahaha

Answer 18

what is ^?

Answer 19

25

Answer 20

c=25

Answer 21

Im not smart so I cant answer this hahaahah

Answer 22

Like I said @AZ your very enthusiastic lol

Answer 23

oh sorry, oops

so ^ is just exponents

so it's a way to write it like \( 3^2\)

do you know what that is?
it's basically 3 times 3

if we had \( 3^4\)
that means we multiply 3 by itself four times so 3 * 3 * 3 * 3

Answer 24

ohhhhhh

Answer 25

good to know

Answer 26

yes it we just wrote it as 32

you would think it was thirty two
but we're trying to do 3 to the power of 2 so they got that ^ symbol for text haha :)

Answer 27

so what is \( 3^2\)
and \( 4^2\)

Answer 28

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\)

haha I just like to help :)

Answer 29

3^2=9
4^2=16

Answer 30

hehe lol

Answer 31

good so remember the

\( a^2 + b^2 = c^2\)

so now we have

\( 3^2 + 4^2 = c^2\)

and then you just told me

\( 9 + 16 = c^2\)

can you solve for c?

Answer 32

Me?

Answer 33

that what I got too lol

Answer 34

well okay, what is 9 + 16

Answer 35

25

Answer 36

so we have \( c^2 = 25\)

that means a number multiplied by itself gives us 25

do you know what number that is?
you can also take a calculator and do square root of 25 to find out

Answer 37

5

Answer 38

That's your final answer. That's the distance between the two points

Answer 39

thanks

Answer 40

Of course! This post has gotten a bit lengthy so can you create a new post to ask the second question in your worksheet?

Answer 41

i dont need help anymore i get it
