Meldrick's Textbook Pages

The pages I had to do 7, 10, 13, and the deadly question 16.

Number 7
What is the missing length of the leg for each triangle? Give your answer to the nearest tenth of a millimetre.
a)


a²+b²=c²
a²+5²=9²
a²+(5x5)=(9x9)
a²+25-25=81-25
a²=56 mm²
√a²=√56 mm²

a=7.5 mm

b)




a²+b²=c²
a²+11²=15²
a²+(11x11)=(15x15)
a²+121-121=225-121
a²=104 mm²
√a²=√104
a=10.2 mm

Number 10
What is the minimum distance the player at third base has to throw to get the runner out at first base? Express your answer to the nearest tenth of a metre.

a²+b²=c²
27²+27²=c²
(27x27)+(27x27)=c²
729m²+729m²=c²
1458m²=c²
√1458=√c²
38.2m=c

The player must throw a distance of 38.2 metres.

Number 13
Determine the length of the base of the large triangle. Express your answer to the nearest tenth of a millimetre.


a²+b²=c²
8²+b²=10²
(8x8)+b²=(10x10)
64-64+b²=100-64
b²=36mm²
√b²=√36
b=6mm
b(2)=6(2)

Base=12cm

Number 16
The deadly number 16. Hopefully you won't need this guide, as it is for people who have been reduced to tears (not literally) by this question. But if you are one of these people, you are welcome to look at the answer.
What is the length of the red diagonal in the box? Express your answer to the nearest tenth of a millimetre.


Now, imagine that the triangle has been cut in half, from the top right corner to the bottom left corner, so that the diagonal is on a 'flat surface'. Using the height (5mm) and length (12mm), we can find the hypotenuse of the 'triangle' that was created when the rectangle was cut in half, using the Pythagorean theorem (height-a, length-b):
a²+b²=c²
5²+12²=c²
(5x5)+(12x12)=c²
25+144=c²
169cm²=c²
√169=√c²
13mm=c
After that, imagine turning the triangle so that you can see the red diagonal cutting a rectangle in half. You have already found the bottom of the rectangle (13mm), and you have the measurements for the right side of the rectangle, the width (7mm). Using the Pythagorean theorem, you can now find the red diagonal (width-a, bottom-b).
a²+b²=c²
7²+13²=c²
(7x7)+(13x13)=c²
49+169=c²
218cm²=c²
√218=√c²
14.8cm=c

Hopefully, you found that helpful. Good night (it's 1:05 AM), and goodbye.

Key Ideas

The Pythagorean relationship can be used to determine the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle when the lengths of two legs are known.




The Pythagorean relationship can be used to determine the leg length of a right triangle when the lengths of the hypotenuse and the other leg are known.



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



Answer: No, I don't agree with the method that Jack is using because it would take too much work. It would be easier if he just used the formula: a²+b²=c² then √c²=c (hypotenuse).



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.
Answer: Kira is incorrect. She should've used the formula b²=c²-a² or in this case, y²=x²-w².

16. Fitness centre will install a square hot tub in a 6 m x 6 m room. They want the tub to fill no more than 75% of the room's area.

A) What is the maximum area of the hot tub?

Area of a square = LxL
= 6 m x 6 m
= 36 m^2

Area of the hot tub :(75/100)(36) = 27 m^2

B) What dimensions, to a tenth of a meter, will the fitness centre order from the manufacturer?
Explain.

They want the hot tub to fill no more than 75% of the room.

so 75% of the room is : (75/100)(36)= 27 m^2

The dimensions are SQRT 27 = 5.196m

L = 5.1 m
L = 5.1 m

Square roots

Question 2

Find a whole number that has a square root between 3 and 4 explain how your found it.


To identify the whole number that has a square root between 3 and 4 I found the perfect square of the two consecutive numbers and chose the whole number between the two perfect squares.


12 will have a value between 3 and 4
YOU KNOW THAT THIS IS YOUR ANSWER BECASUE 3 GROUPS OF 4 IS 12.
Question 3
Jason is doing his math homework he has to find the square root of 10.He presses 10 on his calculater and the screen display's 3.1627766. However when 3.1627766 is mutiplied by itself the answer is not 10, explain.
The answer is because 10 is not a perfect square the value shown on the calculator is only an approximation.

b) Stella finds out that the dance floor will be made up of 1m2. What are the two side lengths the dance floor can have that are the closest to what she wants?

10m x 10m or 11m x 11m

c)What are the two square areas for the dance floor that Stella can choose from?

100m2 or 121m2

#1 and 17



1.Explain how to estimate √28 to one decimal place without using a calculator.compare your answer with a classmate's

Answer:
To estimate √28 you have to find the two closest perfect squares. 25 and 36 are just right because 28 is between these two perfect squares. There are two method or ways to find the estimate of the square root of 28
The first one is a number line

HOW?
What I did was put the perfect squares on both ends of the number line and then I decided which is closest 28 which was 25 and I took a guesstimate and I got 5.3

Other way is this
HOW!?
The method is the same as the number line except you write it different. You just find what number 28 is closest to which is 25 and take a guesstimate that would be logical not over 5.5 since its closest to 25.

18.
a) Evaluate √9.
b) Estimate the square root of your answer
in part a), to one decimal place.
c) Use a calculator to check your estimate.
Express your answer to the nearest
hundredth.
d) How close is your estimate in part b)
to your calculation in part c)?

A)How to find the square root of 9? 9 is a perfect square so its easy, what I did was I looked for other perfect squares that are closest to 9 like 4 and 16 so 4 is 2x2 and 16 is 4x4 so 9 is 3x3 since its in the middle of 2 and 4
B)
C) The calculation is 1.73
D)My estimation in Part b was 0.2 larger than the actual calculation.
