Pythagorean Theorem Project

• Prove the 3, 4, 5 right triangle, the 6, 8, 10 or the 12, 13, 15 and a triangle of your choice. In addition, you can also prove the theorem using the proof we discussed in class or using the lenghts of three squares. (See link.)


• Measure and cut out the two triangles


• Evaluate a^2+ b^2= c^2 for both triangles


• Form your own conclusion about whether the Pythagorean Theorem works


• Make sure the project is neat
  
• Include your Name and Class

Equations and Inequalities Test

Classes 8-6/8-7/ 8-11
Begin studying for your test on equations and inequalites. Your test will be next week.

Equations

Check your answers. Three points each.

1. 49
2. 109
3. 6
4. 58
5. 376
6. 0.5
7. 1/2 or 0.5
8. 153
9. 64
10. 71.9 Explanation should include inverse operations and adding 4 to both sides of the equation.
11. No, Liza did not solve the equal correctly. She should have divided both sides by 4 instead of multiplying by 4. x= 5
