We continued our work with right triangles today by going over how to solve problems using the Pythagorean Theorem. This is an equation that is very familiar to many students, so the foundation of this lesson has already been laid by previous math courses. We then showed how to use this equation to work with a variety of figures that we have already studied. We went over how a triangle, a rhombus, a square, and a trapezoid can all be worked on using the pythagorean theorem. The students then got started on their assignment.
Assignment: section 8-2; page 292-293; WE #1-29, 33
