Erick's Pythagoras Growing Post



A Pythagorean Triple is three unknown numbers, A, B, and C that satisfy a2+b2=c2 is a pythagorean triple.

a2+b2=c2

This example shows, - 6squared + 8squared = 10squared

6squared = (6x6=) 36 = a2

8squared = (8x8=) = 64 b2

10squared = (10x10=) = 100 c2

SO THE QUESTION , IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, IS REALLY


36 + 64 = 100

Part 3:
This is Word porblem A

You`re locked out of your house and the only open window is on the second floor, 25 feet above the ground. You need to borrow a ladder from one of your neighbors. There's a bush along the edge of you house, so you`ll have to place the ladder 10 feet from the house. What length of ladder do you need to reach the window?

Now we start with the formula:
a2 +b2= c2



Now Heres what it looks like in the right triangle.

Now we simply do all the math work.

a2 + b2 = c2
25 squared
+ 10 squared = c2
625 + 100 = c2
725 = c2
Square root 725 to get c

c = 26.92









Part 4
My Word Problem Example

Your question is really good and creative. But if you are holding up the 'Keyblade' shouldn't there be an arm extension?
Well I solved your question is it 20.40?
Well good job Erick
