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

So Sora is done his adventure and comes across a keyhole. He is 10 meters away from it. The keyhole is 20 meters high. Sora is 4 meters tall. His Keyblade can fit exactly into the keyhole from the distance he is standing from. How long is his Keyblade?

Key Info...
10 meters away
Keyhole 20 meters High
Sora 4 meters Tall

Erick's Second Growing Post

1. What strategies were needed?
The strategies needed were a simple ratio table, multiplication addition and division.
2 How did you use these strategies?
I first got the information I knew. So i had 2 2/5 cups which was $3.60. Then i kept adding 3.60 to my answers each time so it would be like 3.60 + 3.60= 7.20 then 7.20 + 3.60= 10.80. Then i did the same thing on the fraction of 2 2/5, so it would be like 2 2/5 + 2/25 = 4 4/5, and so on.When I got 12 cups it was $18. I divided 12 by 12 to get 1. Then I divided 1 by to to get the half.
3 Or How could you of used these strategies?
I could of multiplied 2 2/5 by 5 to get 12 and 3.60 by 12 to get 18.00.
4 How would you figure out the price of a 6 cup bag of Betty's Snack mix? Use a ratio table
( LOOK AT THE OTHER RATIO TABLE)
5 Find 3 other values (amounts of Snack Mix) that could be solved using the same ratio table. Find the $$ of your new container sizes.
