     Today is Math Monday. In this blog, I will be giving two helpful reasons where to use phythagoriam theorem. Pythagorimu theorem is when you have two sides of a triangle and your trying to find the other side, the solution to that would be A^2+b^ 2 would equal C^2. Here is a solution were you might have to use it. Say that you want to find out which path to grandmas house would be faster. There's one were you have to cross the lake and over two rocks,and there's another path were you would cross over the sand, and over a log. When you cross the sand it is two feet steps for second, and when you row the lake it takes 10 minutes which one is faster. This would be another great time to find pythagorium theorem. Another reason is you want to know how big two squares need to be to fill up a big square. So you know that the volume in one square will equal 3 and the big square will equal 7, so this is another reason you might be able to use phythagorium theorem.

     This is what we are currently learning in Mr. Dormans Pre-Algebra class. It is very very very easy if you know how to do exponents and root squares. Anybody can pick this up and earn it fast.

Root Squares

Today is Math Monday. In this blog, I will be blogging about what are square roots, and why they are called that. Square roots is like area and perimeter. If the square root is 7, then that means 7x7 equal 49, so that is the number you are diving it by. The answer in this case would be 7. This math lesson is named "square roots", because whatever you're diving by is half of that number. Square roots come in handy if you need to find the perimeter of the square. This a constant thing people use to help idenify what it is they have to know. I think that this is also very useful for carpenters, and construction workers. Math will go were ever you go, so these lessons are really important. The square root of 64 would be 8, because 8 x 8 equals 64. Here is another example, the square root of 80, would be between 8 and 9. If it is not a perfect square, then you have to list and estimate what two numbers it would be between. 

This is how you know how to find the square root of something. It is very simple to do. This is what we are currently learning in Mr. Dorman's Pre-Algebra class. I hope that you find it easy to find the square roots, like I found it easy to.
