March 17: Applicaiton of Pythagorean Theorem

Today we discussed when Pythagorean Theorem can actually be used in the real world.  We had several examples of real-world problems that required Pythagorean Theorem in order to solve them.  Some examples were:

• Finding the length of the diagonal support board on a wooden gate
• Distance from one city to another (if we knew other lengths)
• TV sizes
• Distance from home plate to second base

Each of these real-world scenarios requires Pythagorean's Theorem to determine a missing length.
