Angela's Scribe Post - Prime Factorization

Today in class we started off with listing the things we know about rectangles and squares.

Rectangles:
  • Has four sides:
  • Consisting of 2 sets of parallel sides
  • The sides are labeled as "l" for length and "w" for width. (Making it different from squares)
  • To find the perimeter of a rectangle you add all of the lengths and widths all together, and the formula is perimeter = 2l + 2w

Next we determined how to find the area of a rectangle:

Squares:
  • 4 equal sides
  • To determine the perimeter of a square you multiply its sides to four or add all of its side together. (perimeter = 4 s)
Next we determined how to find the area of a square:

After that we learned about Prime Factorization:

Prime Numbers: Have only 2 factors 1 and itself.
2, 3, 5, 7 are examples of prime number. (more here)

How to determine if something is squared:

  1. Put all numbers (from the Line of Prime Factorization) onto a square:
2. Multiply each side:

If each side are equivalent to each other then the number is a squared. But in this case both side are not equivalent making the number 24 not squared.

Here's a video to help you more with squares, rectangle, and prime factorization:

PART II: Pythagorean Relationship

1. Answer in a short paragraph and with diagrams:



The Pythagorean relationship is the relationship between the lengths of the sides of a right triangle. The sum of the areas of the squares attached to the leg of a right triangle equals the area of the square attached to the hypotenuse.

For Example:









Legs:
  • The legs are the two shorter sides of a right triangle.
  • The legs of a right triangle are perpendicular to each other.
Hypotenuse:
  • The longest side of a right triangle.
  • Is opposite of the right angle.

2. Solve for the missing side length.















3. Is this a right triangle? Prove it!!!
