so our teacher out on maternity leave and the sub dont know please help with Pythagorean theorem
That's alright, we're here to help! First off, do you know the pythagorean theorem? a^2 + b^2 = c^2

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?

okay so for your first question, let's draw it
Do you see the triangle?
\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @AZ Do you see the triangle? \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) yea
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

You don't need to quote every message haha
So what would be the length of the vertical part and the horizontal part? Remember each block is going to count as 1
How do you peopel know this. SO smart
4 is vertical 3 is horizontal
lol

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 =
Yea im in 6th I have no idea what this is hahaha
what is ^?
25
c=25
Im not smart so I cant answer this hahaahah
Like I said @AZ your very enthusiastic lol
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
ohhhhhh
good to know
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 :)
so what is \( 3^2\) and \( 4^2\)
\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Rylee88 Like I said @AZ your very enthusiastic lol \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) haha I just like to help :)
3^2=9 4^2=16
hehe lol
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?
Me?
that what I got too lol
well okay, what is 9 + 16
25
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
5
That's your final answer. That's the distance between the two points
thanks
Of course! This post has gotten a bit lengthy so can you create a new post to ask the second question in your worksheet?
i dont need help anymore i get it
