Mathematical Quilts in a Radical Way 11/21/2018 Kathleen M. Sylla Summmer Institute 2007
Kathleen M. Sylla Summmer Institute 2007 Objectives The students will investigate the mathematical patterns found in quilts. The students will investigate special right triangles through measurement and the use of the Pythagorean Theorem. The students will investigate special right triangles using radicals. 11/21/2018 Kathleen M. Sylla Summmer Institute 2007

Kathleen M. Sylla Summmer Institute 2007 In a Radical Way Pythagoras was a Greek philosopher who made important developments in mathematics, astronomy, and the theory of music. The theorem now known as Pythagoras's theorem was known to the Babylonians 1000 years earlier but he may have been the first to prove it. 11/21/2018 Kathleen M. Sylla Summmer Institute 2007
Kathleen M. Sylla Summmer Institute 2007 Pythagorean Theorem Building squares on the sides of a right triangle. Pythagoras' Theorem states that the sum of (the areas of) two small squares equals (the area of) the big one. In algebraic terms, a2 + b2 = c2 where c is the hypotenuse while a and b are the legs of the triangle. 11/21/2018 Kathleen M. Sylla Summmer Institute 2007

Kathleen M. Sylla Summmer Institute 2007 Square Root of 2 The square root of 2 is the length of the hypotenuse (longest side) of a right triangle whose other two sides are each one unit long. The square root of 2 has the approximate value 1.41421356 11/21/2018 Kathleen M. Sylla Summmer Institute 2007
