Classwork
We completed and summarized 3.1, Discovering the Pythagorean Theorem, on page 38. Students worked through A and B. We generalized our findings into a formula. Go to http://norupstein.weebly.com/math-8-plus-homework-and-answers for the notes and summary.
Focus Question
"You know the sum of the two shortest side lengths of a triangle must be greater than the third side length. Is there a similar relationship among the squares on the sides of a triangle? Is the relationship the same for all triangles?"
