Textbook Questions

Today in class we were assigned to do textbook pg. 85 and 86 questions 2, 4, 6 to 23. I will explain the answers of questions 6, 11, 12, 15c, 16c, 19, and 22 in this scribe post.
A)

B) Yes, 64 is a perfect square because its prime factors can be share equally among the sides. 8x8=64.

C)

(Squaring is the same as multiplying a number by itself)
A) 9x9=81
B) 11x11=121

A) 3x3=9
B) 18x18=324

C)

C)



A) The side length of the square is 630m.
B) If the dimensions of the square is 629m, the area would be 395 641 square meters.
C)

Here is a video about square roots.

(The following will be pictures I took in the Tiananmen Square during my trip in 2009.)




Pythagorean Relationship Questions:
1. Answer in a short paragraph and with diagrams

The pythagorean relationship states that the square of leg A plus the square of the leg B equals the square of the hypotenuse C. So if A is 3, B is 4, then C has to be 5 because
2. Solve for the missing side length.
To solve for the missing side, I first have to label the sides of the triangle. I labeled the legs A and B, then label the hypotenuse C. Then I apply the pythagorean relationship to find the side C. The length on side C is 13cm.
3. Is this a right triangle? Prove it!!!

To solve question, I first label the sides of the triangle A, B, C. Then I apply the pythagorean relationship to see if the numbers fit. If the answer on both sides of the equation is the same, then it is a right triangle, but if it's not the same, it is not a right triangle because according to the pythagorean relationship, a2+b2=c2. The answers of the equation is not the same, so this triangle is not a right triangle.
