Pythagoras theorem is a way of solving the longest side of a triangle which is the hypotenuse and the opposite side of the 90 degrees. It is used to calculate the longest side which is the hypotenuse of a triangle. The formula is usually a^2+b^2 = c^2, to calculate the longest side of a triangle you need to multiply the A by itself and as well as the b. Then you need to add them up and then you need to square root the number then you will get the answer.
Square roots are used to figure out what the numbers that are multiplied by itself to get the number that is square root.
Example:
The square root of 49 is 7
1.) Label & Draw Diagram:
a=6 b=8 c= the opposite side of the 90 degrees
2.) What you're given
(a=6)+(b=8)=c= hypotenuse
3.) Proof
to calculate the hypotenuse we can use
a^2 + b^2 = c
6^2 + 8^2 = c
36 + 64 = 100
then you will need to use square root to finish calculating the hypotenuse (c)
√100 = 10
The answer is: 10 (c)
4.) The formula to calculate the opposite side of 90 degrees
6^2 (a) + 8^2 (b) = hypotenuse (c) then use the proof to calculate the hypotenuse
the A and B must always have the power of 2
Hello, this is Shawn \(-_-)/
ReplyDeleteI can understand it really well and i like the way you explain the pythagoras theorem part.
hello brielle,
ReplyDeletewell done on completing most of your work.
could you tell me why this important all i know is we do this in math no one uses this in real life situations.
over all well done keep up your great work.

Hi Brielle,
ReplyDeleteThis is a great piece of work. I like how you put the information and how you added the information about Hypotenuse. The diagram was easy to understand and I like how you label them out. But next time maybe also put where can we use Pythagoras Theorem in real life.
Jhermaine
Good explaination. Can you research and find some examples of where PT is used in everyday life
