The Pythagorean Snail Project You will use a protractor and ruler to create a poster of the Pythagorean Snail. All sides of all 17 (if they measure correctly, they can get 18 triangles, but I require 17) triangles will be labeled. It needs to be creatively decorated and colored. You may do the calculations on the back in pencil, or on another sheet of paper. All work must be shown and turned in on time to receive full credit. Step 1: Place the paper in landscape orientation. Measure from the top left hand corner 27.5 cm to the right and 20.5 cm down from the top. This will be your starting point. Step 2: Using your ruler draw a segment that is 7 cm long that begins at your starting point and goes towards the left side of your paper. Then measure 90° so that the vertex of your 90° angle is the starting point. Draw a segment from the starting point that is 7cm long, goes toward the top of the paper, and is perpendicular to the original segment. Connect the endpoints of the two segments to create a right isosceles triangle. 20.5 cm ↓ 7 cm 27.5 cm → 7 cm Step 3: On a separate sheet of paper, use the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the length of the hypotenuse. Show all work and write your answer in simplest radical form. Step 4: Using the hypotenuse of the 1st triangle, create another right triangle on top of the previous hypotenuse. The old hypotenuse will be the new base and construct a perpendicular segment to this, with the length of 7 cm. Then connect the two segments to form a new hypotenuse. Step 5: On your separate piece of paper, show the calculations to find the length of the new hypotenuse. Step 6: Continue to repeat this process of connecting and constructing new triangles with a side of 7 cm, using the previous hypotenuse as the other side. Continue to show your calculations on your separate piece of paper. Construct triangles until you have 17. This should form a full spiral snail. Step 7: Detail your Pythagorean Snail with one or more designs. Use color and creativity to create you picture.
