Question

Write a own real-world scenario where the Pythagorean Theorem can be applied to find a missing piece. You can 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 1

Answer:If you are mowing a section of a lawn but want to make sure you only mow so much. Say half of a square lawn, if you know that the 2 sides of the fence are each 20 yards in length, you can apply the formula to find the distance of the diagonal. That way you know exactly how much you have mowed. draw a square, cut a diagonal through it, make the 2 sides labaled as 20 and then its 20 squared plus 20 squared = c squared. Hope this helps!
