Pythagorean Theorem Investigation PDF
  • worth 10 points so please be sure to complete it!!!!
  • you must cut out 5 pieces and rearrange them like a puzzle and glue them down
  • do not throw away anything!
  • i want to see the original paper you begin with
10.4 invest and problems gh.pdf
  • these are problems on the 2 special right triangles we learned today!
  • remember...in a 45-45-90 triangle, if the leg has length x, then the hypotenuse has length x root
  • in a 30-60-90 triangle, if the short leg has length x, then the long leg has length x root 3 and the hypotenuse has length 2x
  • (1-32) all

Have a PG-13 Thanksgiving Break!!!!

i love you guys!
