Geometry Blog 3

For geometry I investigated the question, " If you know the sidelengths of a right triangle can you predict the angle measurements"In the beginning I believed that you could only know the size of theangles not the exact measurement. But, I later found that you couldpredict the measurements of the angles. However, it depends on howyour information is set up. This table is what I used to gather myinformation.

Side 1HypotenuseSide 2Angle BAngle AAngle C
122902763
233901872
344901476
455901179
56690981
67790882
78890783
89990684
9101090684
10111190585


Based off of this I shall conclude by saying this last statement. If you know the side lengths of a right triangle you can predict the angle measurements depending on how you gather your information. For example: If I know the side lengths are 1,2 and 2.236067977499789 in a fright triangle then i predict that the angle measurements will be 90, 26 and 64. This is known because the side measurements are in chronological order. And this is the pattern that I have found.

  1. You have some good data and you are on to something here. See me in class about how to use html to put a table on your blog - we figured out a few things while you were out. I wonder what the next question that you are going to investigate it? What do you wonder about right triangles? What do you want to find out about them?

  3. I like the data that you have collected and posted up, but one question...Did you ever have to use any triples for this investigation.

  4. I am investigating the same question. Where did you get your information from, by that I mean what website did you use. Also what do you mean by the angle measurements are in chronological order?
