Roots

A square has an area of 9 cm2. What is the length of each side of the square? A square has an area of 16 cm2. What is the length of each side of the square? How can this help us with square roots? Let’s fill-in the table to the right. When we work backwards, we can use the table to see that

49 is 7, and that

64 is 8. But what about all of the square roots in between 49 & 64? Well, we can estimate those based on the roots that we do know. So we can say that

55 is somewhere in between 7 and 8, and probably a little closer to 7. Write your estimate here __________ What about the square root of 72? ________________________

Guided Practice

Evaluate each of the following:

1)

196 = ___________

2)

30 = approximately ____________

3)

289 = ___________

4)

529 = ___________ 5)

112 is between ______ and _______

7.2 NOTES Pythagorean Theorem

a2 + b2 = c2

This formula is called the Pythagorean Theorem. But what does it mean, and how can we use it? Let’s look at how right triangles are set-up first, then we will answer that question.

In every right triangle, the longest side (the side opposite the right angle) is called the HYPOTENUSE. The other two sides are each called a LEG. Label the sides of the right triangle shown below: The Pythagorean Theorem describes the relationship of the lengths of sides of a right triangle, and can be used to find the missing length in any right triangle.

Example 1: Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing side length: Example 2: Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing side length:

7.3 NOTES Solving Multi-Step Equations

Let’s start by reviewing something we worked on way back in Unit 2, Solving Equations! How would you solve the equation below?

3y + 7 = 40

y = ____________ Great job! Now what if the equation looked like this?

6(7j + 3) = -28 + 19j Here are some helpful hints, from your soon-to-be 8th grade math teachers:

Steps to Solving Multi-Step Equations 1. Always distribute into parentheses first if you can

2. Combine your like terms on each side of the equals sign

3. Move your terms with variables to one side of the equals sign to work towards a two-step equation

4. Undo addition/subtraction by using inverse operations

5. Undo Multiplication/Division by using inverse operations

Don’t forget the golden rule to solving equations: Whatever we do to one side of the equals sign, we have to do exactly the same to the other side! Ok, so using these steps, let’s solve the problem from above:

6(7j + 3) = -28 + 19j

j = _______
