Stencils And Measuring Right Triangles
Today is July 21 and were creating stencils for the court yard to trace and paint. We also did a quiz about what we learned in the climate change from the Museum of Natural History. We're learning how real experts scale drawings to real life places. As we create stencils we are also measuring triangles. The type of triangles that we measure are right triangles. The base of the triangle is eight and height of the triangle is six, so the longest side of the triangle is ten, which is also known as the hypotenuse. I used Pythagorean Theorum (a2 +b2=c2 ) so (82 +62 =102) 8 squared is 64 and 6 squared is 36 so when you add them both together you will get 100 and the square root of 100 is 10. So thats how I got a 6 - 8 - 10 triangle.
