... To put this in other words, the Pythagorean Theorem tells us that a certain relation holds amongst the side lengths of a right triangle. The architects, however, do not have a right triangle but rather want to produce a right triangle. The converse of the Pythagorean Theorem enables them to do just ...

... 5. Discuss indirect measurement with the students. On a sunny day, give students yardsticks. Have them measure their heights and shadows and record the results. Then, ask them to measure the shadows of several tall objects, such as trees or flagpoles, and record the results. Return to the classroom ...

... Home plate on a baseball field is a pentagonal region with three right angles and two congruent angles. Find the measures of each of these two congruent angles. Explain your reasoning. The sum of the measures of all the interior angles in a pentagon must be 3@180E = 540E. ** Since three angles are r ...
