This is the formula

+ =

Turtle Man and Dylan want to build a triangle shaped dog lot.

This is a diagram of what the lot is goning look like

20 ft. ????

10 ft.

• Hillbilly Jim wants a beet garden but he doesn’t know how so we have to help him. He wants a right triangle shaped garden against the house.

This is what it will look like…

Red triangle represents the garden and blue triangle represents the house.

Pythergorean therom is used in many ways hers some examples builders use this method when laying out foundtions of a building

This is what the lot is going look like…

? 40 ft.

30 ft.

And the answer is……

• 22.3 rounds back to 22 for the garden.

• 26.4 feet but, if you were buying a dog lot, you would round it up to 27 feet.

That concludes our Pythagorean Theorem slideshow! Hope y’all learned something!
