Using The Phythagorean Relationship.

* How far does 2nd base throw to home base ?
The following picture shows the line from 2nd to home making a right triangle.


a2+ b2= c2
(27x27) + (27x27) = c2
729m(squared) + 729m(squared) = c2
1458= c2
✔1458cm(squared)= ✔c2

38.18m= c


The following picture shows a right triangle. Find h/ c .


a2 + b2= c2
(6x6) + (10x10) = c2
36cm(squared) + 100cm(squared)= c2

136cm2= c2
✔136cm(squared) =✔c2
11.66cm= c

The following picture shows a right triangle. You are only given r & t. Find s.

a2 + b2 = c2
20(squared) + b2= 52(squared)
(20x20) + b2 = (52x52)
b2= 52(squared) - 20(squared)

b2= 2704- 400

b2= 2304 cm(squared)
✔ b2= ✔2304
b= 48cm

The following picture shows a right triangle. You are only given b and
c. Find a.
a2 = c2 - b2
a2 = 9(squared) - 4(squared)
a2= 81cm2 - 16cm2

a2= 65cm
✔a2= ✔65cm
a= 8.06 cm




HOMEWORK :)
Page 103 and 104 .

Questions 1, 2, 3 and 4.

Question 1:
Jack must determine the side length of a right triangle. He decides to draw it, and then measure it, as shown. Do you agree with the method that Jack is using? Explain .

I agree with the method Jack is using, because once he knows what the two side lengths are, he can find the hypotenuse.

Question 2:

Kira calculated the missing side length of the right triangle.


Is Kira correct ? If she is correct, explain how you know. If she is incorrect, explain the correct method.
Kira is not correct, because she forgot to do this part:
194cm(squared) = y2
✔194= ✔c2
13.9= c
