Write your own real-world scenario where the Pythagorean Theorem can be applied to find a missing piece. You may choose to write a problem that is two- or three-dimensional in nature. Be sure that you will be able to draw a diagram of your scenario.

Answer: As said, you can write your own real-world scenario. So you don't need a specific answer from someone. Just write what you want or see as.You need to think of something that looks like a right triangle because you can apply the Pythagorean theorem in that triangle. Once you get the shape think of something that looks like that, (Example) like a skateboard ramp. Be creative and think about just having the opposite leg and the adjacent and not the hypotenuse. Draw your ramp and apply the Pythagorean theorem to find your hypotenuse.
