Pythagorean Theorem geometry real-world

shared by Justin McCandless on 04 Aug 10 - Cached

According to Stalnaker, Sellers released the ball 130 feet above the 10-foot rim and the basket was set up approximately 150 to 180 feet from the base of the monument. Thus some simple algebra tells us the ball traveled somewhere between 198 and 222 feet between Sellers' hand and the rim.

  Use this video and the video at http://bit.ly/996T5 Give students the measurements for the ball's initial height above the rim and the horizontal distance from the rim (these are given on the websites...make sure to convert the units on the page that I provided a link to). Use that info to calculate the hypotenuse to answer the question of "Which one of these was really the world's farthest basketball shot?"

Participants review carefully the Pythagorean theorem, prove it geometrically and algebraically, and use it to solve real-world problems. Participants focus on the connection between the Pythagorean theorem and the distance formula, and use the distance formula to calculate distances between points on a square grid and in a coordinate plane.
