What is the Pythagorean Theory?


Simple "a squared+ b squared= c squared". That means that the 2 shortest sides of a triangle, when squared and then added together should equal the longest side, or the hypotenuse.

My stepfather tried to explain it to me so the example is that: there is a triangle with side lengths 7, 9, 10 so because we know that c has the be the longest side we set it up 7^2+9^2=10^2 or 7x7+9x9=10x10 the equation simplifies to = 49+81=100, 49 + 81=130 not 100 so the triangle is not right.

Quarter Three GPA


I've been working very hard to be the entire year in honor or high honor role. Which makes me really happy. I have a GPA between 3.30-60. Which was the highest I got. This quarter, I was a little disappointed because I didn't make it to the high honor role. My GPA was really low, only 3.33 this quarter which is a 5. I am more than happy because last year, I wasn't in honor role and by GPA was lower than 3.30. I've been working hard to get my grades up this year including in math. I am happy to know that now, I am an average person and my challenge for next year is to be in as many high honor roles possible.
