Question

Directions: Use this worksheet to record answers to the two activities that make up the Pythagorean Theorem Portfolio. When you are finished, save this worksheet with your answers and submit it for a portfolio grade.

Finding the Area of a Field
Use the image to answer to complete the activity.




Count the number of squares inside Field A. This is the area of Square A in acres. Write it below:
Area = acres
Count the number of squares inside Field B. This is the area of Square B in acres. Write it below:
Area = acres
Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the area of Field C in acres:
Area = a2 + b2 = c2
Area = acres

Answer 1

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the area of Field C in acres:
Area = a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Area = acres
Field A= 16
Field B= 9

Answer 2

How do you use a grid to you do y to x or x to y

Answer 3

A square garden has the end points listed below. Plot and label these points on the grid:
A (-7, 6)
B (-2, -6)
C (10, -1)
D (5, 11)
Connect the points to create Square ABCD.
Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the side length, s, of Square ABCD in feet.
Area = a2 + b2 = c2 where c is the side length, s.
s = feet
4. Use the area formula, 𝐴 = 𝑠2, to find the area of Square ABCD.
A = feet

Answer 4

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the area of Field C in acres:
Area = a2 + b2 = c2
Area = acres
