Pythagorean Theorem Project

We had to create a 3D model to show the Pythagorean Theorem. My project shows a half made frame for a painting. The frame is not finished because you need to find the hypotenuse to figure out the length the frame needs to be.

Here is the word problem:

Word Problem

Braxten wants to put a new painting in a room in his house. The height of the painting was 21 inches and the width was 36 inches. He is making a frame for it so he needs to figure out the hypotenuse of the painting. What is the hypotenuse?  

Here is our work:

Work

a*2+b*2=c*2

36*2+21*2=c*2

1,296+441=c*2

1,737=c*2

square root of 1,737=c

41.7=c

Here is our reflection:

Reflection

We came up with the idea about making the painting the center of our word problem because we wanted to put something on the wall of a house. We thought a painting would be fun to do. We just took a box and created a “wall” and we put our word problem, work, and reflection on the “floor” and we created a “painting” that we put on the wall.
