Plx help im too dumb :,,) WILL GIVE THAT BRAIN CROWN

Part 1
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.

Write out your problem and submit it for Part 1. Be sure to end your scenario with a question.

Part 2
Draw a diagram of the scenario you created in Part 1. You may draw by hand and scan and upload your drawing or create a computer-generated drawing for submission. Be sure to label all parts and dimensions of the drawing.

Part 3
Solve the question that you posed in Part 1. Show all of your steps in answering the question.

For this option, you will need to submit all three parts for full credit—your real-world problem and question, the diagram that you created, and your work solving the problem, showing all steps.

Answer:

Part 1: you know the height of the latter and the distance of the slide to the latter, but you don't know the length of the slide that needs to be replaced due to being broken.

i used a slide. the height of a ladder is 10 ft, the distance from the ladder and the end of the slide is 20 ft. so you needed to find the length of the slide to complete your "triangle".

i cannot add a picture so i hope you can work with that. you can also alter the numbers so that it isnt the same when you turn it in (turnitin will detect if another student put this answer) so i suggest altering the numbers.

here is my work:

10^2 + 20^2 = x^2

100 + 400 = x^2

500 = x^2

√500 = 22.360679775

22.360679775 = 22.3

x= 22.3

So the slide is about 22 feet long.

Answer:

The Pythagorean Theorem can be used on a right triangle to find a missing side's length.


a^2+b^2=c^2\\c= hypotenuse \\a ,b = legs

A dog's Frisbee is thrown 7 feet east from it's owner. The dog is 5 feet away from the owner. How far is the dog from the Frisbee?

Knowing the directions of the compass, the model should form a right triangle.

5 and 7 would be the legs. How far the dog would be from the Frisbee would be the hypotenuse.

We need to solve for the hypotenuse using the Pythagorean Theorem.


5^2 + 7^2 = c^2\\25 + 49 = c^2\\74 = c^2\\√(74) = 8.60232526704

8.60232526704 ≈ 8.6

c ≈ 8.6

The dog is about 8.6 feet from the Frisbee.
