MATH CLASS (YAAYYYYYYY)

Today was a great day in math.

We started the class off with a daily quiz where you needed to determine what type of right triangle a certain triangle was or weather it was a right triangle at all.

But to figure out the answer to this question i guess you will just have to go to class tommorow and find out.

As every one should know we have a Test on Tuesday. So we discused the test and the tutorial design sheet which will be finished tommorow and should be posted by saturday.

Jojo than passed back daily quiz #27 the question for this daily quiz was basicaly the same as todays just determining a different triangle. We first can see that the triangle is a right triangle because there is a half square as an angle indicating the right triangle. The other side lengths are leg1=3 and the hypotenuse=6 The two special right triangles we know are 45/45/90 and 30/60/90 so i found it right to look for these two first and if it is nether than we know the answer will be a different right triangle. I found the best way to determine the different triangle it could be is to find the length of the missing side. After inserting the numbers into pathagorians theorm A^2+B^2=C^2 we come out with 3^2+x^2=6^2 where x is the missing leg. We than get 9+x^2=36 subtracting 9 from each side we get x^2=27 we than need to get the square root of each side coming out with x=5.2

Than comes finding out what kind of triangle we have. we know in a 45/45/90 the two legs will equal eachother and we can obviously see 3 does not equal 5.2

In a 30/60/90 triangle leg1=1 leg2=square root of 3 and the hypotenuse=2

if we multiply the leg(3) by the square root of three we get 5.2 which lets us know the triangle is a 30/60/90

Ok well i know that if i put a vidieo up no one would watch it but what if i told you it was a little british boy singing than you cant not watch it. it is truly nessesary.

Just watch it. It will actually raise your test score by at least 10 points probably more.

well thats a wrap i got nothin more to tell you about math.

accept that the next scriber is gunna be charles...sorry dude dont hate me....
