Kristel's Triangle Scribe Post




















This is a right triangle because it has a right angle (90 degrees).

A triangle has 3 sides. The horizontal and vertical line are the legs.
The diagonal line is called the hypotenuse.

Side b is 3 cm, side a is 4 cm an and side c, the hypotenuse is unknown.

To find how long the hypotenuse is you can measure it with a ruler or use a formula called Pythagorean Theorem.

The formula is a squared + b squared = c squared.

This is how you would use the formula with this right triangle-

a squared + b squared = c squared
(4 cm squared) + (3 cm squared) = c squared
16 cm squared+ 9 cm squared = c squared
25 cm squared = c squared (with square root over both of them
5 cm = c

  2. Good job Kristel! I liked how you used colour to point out the important words but maybe you could use a little more. I agree with Kevin, maybe next time include a little more information to help you explain your statements. However, I think everything was well done. Keep up the great work! =)

  6. Great job Kristel! I liked how you used colour to point out important words and I liked your picture. I would like to point out that you should have had a little square in the corner of the triangle to show the right angle, but that's okay. I also agree with ^ all of them, maybe next time you could explain more. Otherwise, I think it was a great post. Good job!(:
