This project is due on February _____. Assigned on February ____
In this project, you are trying to show a proof your understanding the concept, skills and applications of the
Pythagorean Theorem.
The project will be organized in: a brochure, a booklet or a poster
The content of the project will include the following items.
 Your full name, period and title of the project.
 Cover page, content page/section and the following items depending on how you organize the project
1. Introduction :
a. a brief history of Pythagoras and Pythagoreans
b. the definition of the Pythagorean Theorem
c. your intention to use the Pythagorean theorem method to solve real life based situation
2) In the main body of your project.
a. The topic of the problem or the name of the situation
b. Clear question you want to find out
c. two examples of work on how two find two different missing sides of the right angle triangle separately
d. clear work, with step by step procedure ( algorithm)
e. Complete sentence with unit measurement.
f. sketches, pictures, or your work designs
g. accurate drawing or a design of the theorem with three squares
3) Conclusion: write about the impact of the theorem like
a. Can the theorem help you solve the problem?
b. Can it help in other situations, if so list the areas?
c. In what condition only does the theorem work?
Examples of exploration items:
(The height of a building, the length or width of a river, the size of a laptop computer, etc…) or
Select a career to research how the Pythagorean Theorem is used in their job (Civil Engineer, Architecture Design,
Surveyor, GPS & Navigation, Game Programmer, Pilot, Landscape Architect, Plumber, Mechanical
Drafter/Engineer etc…)
