thagorean Theorem!
Think-pair-share:
Years ago.....
a man named Pythagoras found an amazing fact about triangles:
If the triangle had a right angle (90°) ...
... and you made a square on each of the three sides, then ...
... the biggest square had the exact same area as the other two squares put together!
a +b =c

Pythagorean Theorem: in football
Pythagorean Theorem: building houses
Pythagorean Theorem: accessibility ramp
Pythagorean Theorem: wheelchair ramp
Pythagorean Theorem: skateboard ramp
Activity: Create a ramp using the
Pythagorean Theorem.
Criteria:
1) The height of the ramp must start at the
top of an object/piece of furniture
2) The base leg must be 36 inches (3 ft.) long
3) In order to get the materials for your ramp
(hypotenuse/leg c), you must calculate the
exact length of the ramp by using the
pythagorean theorem. Show your work, give
worksheet to a teacher.
a=48"      c=?


        b=36"
