Pythagoras Scribe Post 5

I did numbers 6,9,12 and 15.

6.
a)
I subtract c² and a² so that i can b².
b)

I first squared the two numbers then subtract them. After that I find the square root of the difference then I got 10cm.



9.Tianna wants to construct a path along the diagonal of her yard.What length will the path be?Express your answer to the nearest tenth of a metre.


12.The hypotenuse of the triangle cuts the circle in half.What is the diameter of the circle? express your answer to the nearest tenth of a centimetre.





15.The coordinate grid shown was drawn on a centimetre grid paper. What is the length of the line segment AB. Express your answer to the nearest tenth of a centimetre.

    The answer to number 15 is 4.47, or 4.5 because the line segment A & B starts from point 2, and ends at 6. The distance between 2 & 6 is 4. Instead, you started from point 0. So instead of putting 6x6, it should be 4x4, but nice try! :)

  3. GREAT JOB KAREN! I liked the way you included a video, links, and pictures. Also, your scribe was understandable. Next time, only use colors for important words or numbers because your scribe would look like a bag of skittles :) Anyways, keep up the good work!
