Semester A Unit 4 Lesson 5:
Cool Crafts Portfolio Template
Choose a room you would like to decorate:
_My bedroom________________________________
Measure the length of one wall in inches: _ 12 feet: 144 inches__________________________
2. Choose a size of paper to use.
*I recommend just using a standard 8.5 inch by 11 inch piece of paper. Then fold it diagonally and cut it to make a square.
*Once you cut off the bottom portion of the rectangular, the sides of the square will each be 8.5 inches. If you would like, you can cut 0.5 inch off the top of the square and 0.5 off the right side of the square to make it 8 inches by 8 inches. That is optional.
3. Cut the square in half along the diagonal to form two paper triangles. These will be your pennant flags.
4. Measure the diagonal of the triangle: ____________________________________
Use the Pythagorean Theorem ( a^2+b^2=c^2) to determine the length of the diagonal (hypotenuse):
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
*Your actual measurement and your Pythagorean Theorem answer should be the same or very similar.
5. Divide the actual length of the room (measurement from Step 1), by the length of the hypotenuse:
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
*That is how many triangles you will need to create your “string of pennant flags”.
How many flags will you need to cover the entire length of the wall? ___________
Analyze It Questions:
Why might your measurement of the diagonal’s length be different than the length you found using the Pythagorean Theorem?
Why do you have to use estimation to find the number of triangles you need for the string?
Okay, she needs help, leave er alone. maybe they dont want to rach out to their teacher because their too hard on her. so what!!!!!! im sure you need help with things for school too!! just leave her alone and get a life! @Salted Caramel @NotDog
Why can't we learn to respect each other. We all are humans we all make mistakes and we all need help. We were made to help each other and help people up when they are down. We are NOT suppose to treat people like trash. The mean something. We may not think of it now, but how will you feel if 30 years from now you find out you cause someone to commit suicide because you always made them feel worthless? I know all who read this will make fun of me or call me annoying, but it is the truth, nothing but the truth. You don't know the next person you call dumb could be the next Albert Einstein, or the person you call ugly could be the next Miss America, or hottest Man Alive, you don't know he could be the next person you have a poster of him/her all over your bedroom. You never know.........
IT'S CONFUSING AND I NEED SOME FREAKING HELP NOW!
Lol the fact that they didn't give us a template page or something saying "It can be a word document or a PowerPoint" or whatever is really funny 🔪😃
this is why i hate connexus and my mom for making me go to this school but its easy to cheat so thats like the only thing good about it
Ok dudes at this point I just kinda want the answers like someone else's calculations or something cuz u guys making this even more confusing and fighting over nothing isn't gonna help either... So if u can help us without more confusion, I'll give u a cookie 🍪 :3
I fr need help on the “Explain It”
Ahhh someone plz just give answers i have a f right now and i just want to get past this
what do i write it on lol thats what im confused about .. google docs or what ._.
I am stuck on the whole project, I hate math sm and never seem to understand it...pls helpppp
Honestly same just reading this confused me more ^^^
Well, I'm just really confused like with:
4. Measure the diagonal of the triangle: ____________________________________
Use the Pythagorean Theorem ( a^2+b^2=c^2) to determine the length of the diagonal (hypotenuse):
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
*Your actual measurement and your Pythagorean Theorem answer should be the same or very similar.
5. Divide the actual length of the room (measurement from Step 1), by the length of the hypotenuse:
it's just confusing ._.
Guys do you still need help?
@HI
I already finished this project, and I don't know if you are already done with it, but I can answer it in case someone else reads this 🤷
Why is your measurement of the diagonal's length different than the length you found using the Pythagorean Theorem?
In the "Try it" part of the portfolio, it asks you to measure the length of your diagonal and then use Pythagorean Theorem. Basically, use a tool like a ruler to measure the diagonal first, and after finding that measurement, use Pythagorean Theorem.
Now think, is a ruler always accurate? Yes, it can be close to the real answer, but is it always accurate? Now think of the Pythagorean Theorem. Math is made to be accurate down to the smallest decimal.
So, why is the measurement you made with a ruler, different from the calculation you made with math?
plz help we need help with every thing
Can someone please give the answers
Why is your measurement of the diagonal's length different than the length�you found using the Pythagorean Theorem?
Plz help
@omg girl same😭
Hello @salted caramel and @hotdog, I just want to say it takes my greatest efforts not to scream at both of you for being inconsiderate. This person just wants help because they do not understand how to do a certain thing. If you do not have anything nice to say, dont say anything at all.
Yours Truly,
Me
I’ve read over the instructions so many times and still can’t get what I’m supposed to do can anyone help me start the project? Maybe just understand what I’m supposed to do, am I supposed to draw something or...?
The answer to the analyze it question is that the Pythagorean Theorem is very precise. But the ruler is not very precise and is basically an estimate of the length of the side.
Start the movement
#YOU ARE LOVED
That was awesome
do it on like word if anyone else reds this
plz hlp plz plz plz
so do i just copy this? and tweak it a little bit??
You guys should seriously do the alternate, it's a lot easier to understand, and you don't have to measure anything :) I'm doing the alternate and it's basically just a bunch of textbook questions to answer :)
What are you guys confused on?
Answers to which question .-.
Can someone please give me some measurements or like 1v1 tall to me because I'm fr lost
@Lynn wdym
Lynn what alternate?
the alternate i think they mean on paper, like draw it out instead of cutting paper and strings and all that. if you read the Cool Crafts Portfolio worksheet
I need help on the explain it part, I’m very confused on the entire project
and how would you draw the project im confused
confusing wth
is this like dos or somthing i need answers
we are getting off topic
does anyone have the answers? this is due tomorrow and I just dont understand it and I cant fall behind anymore so please help
my one is about a banner not a bedroom anyone know how I do this or what im even supposed to do
I only need help on the questions.
please can anyone help i really need to finish this
You have the answers inside of you. You can do it!!
@omg same but do you have to do CBA's they are a LL that are to see if u r cheating
please help I need to bring to bring my math grade up STAT
How long is one wall of your bedroom?
2. Choose a size of paper to use.
How would you like us to help you with this assignment?
Take one question at a time. Which question confuses you?
I'm sorry, Alice, um, Kill-door?
Maybe if u were nicer to Ms. Sue she would've helped u.
And second of all do ur own work., I was confused as well but at least I didn't beg ppl on here to help
