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. Also please end it with a question
<span>A man looks at the top of a building. He is 3 meters from the base and the building is 20 m tall. Find the distance from his point to the top of the building 'x'.</span>
Answer:There are three square ponds (A, B and C) that have been built to form a triangular shape, each has the same depth, the two smaller ponds (A and B) join at right angles, all three ponds are joined by sluice gates on their interior corners.
Is it possible to drain ponds A and B into pond C without overflowing?
Total = principal * (1 + rate)^years Total = 3,400 * (1.022)^.25
