Picture of object (Make sure it contains a right angle)
Diagram of object (Make sure to include the measurements of both legs and hypotenuse you measured. Make sure to include units)
Using a measuring tool (ruler, measuring tape, etc.), measure the sides and diagonal of your object.
Measurement of Side 1: ________________
Measurement of Side II: _________________
Measurement of Side III: ________________
Pythagorean theorem (Use your leg Measurements on the diagram to calculate the theoretical hypotenuse).
Using the the side lengths on the previous slide, use the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the hypotenuse. Show your work!
CONCLUSION ANALYSIS
Answer the following questions:
1. Does the hypotenuse that measured with a ruler/measuring tape (Slide 3) equal the hypotenuse you calculated (Slide 4)?
2. Why do you think they are or are not exactly the same?
3. What did you learn from developing this presentation?
