This week in math, we will resume working on the Pythagorean Theorem. Before the holiday break, students learned the following:
- The Pythagorean Theorem applies to right triangles angles only.
- It specifies a relationship between the areas of the squares created off of the legs and hypotenuse of a
right triangle.
- How to apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find missing side length on a right triangle.
- How to apply the Pythagorean Theorem to solve real-world problems.
After reviewing the items above, we will proceed with the the rest of the Pythagorean Theorem & Volume unit. The focus of this week will be:
- Converse of Pythagorean Theorem
- Using the Pythagorean Theorem to find distance in the coordinate plane.
As always, students will have homework nightly (Mon - Thu).
