Pythagorean Spiral
1. This assignment relates to the standard 8.G.7 because in this assignment, we were basically asked to solve for the Pythagorean Theorem. But, for what we were asked, we had to use the Pythagorean Theorem to make a spiral. How do we make the spiral? Well, we solve for the hypotenuses part for the right triangle we first start of with and then we continue on solving the Pythagorean Theorem from that triangle. When we solve the hypotheses for the first triangle, we use the value for the hypotheses and treat as the leg (the "height" side of the triangle) for the next triangle and continue on the pattern for the spiral. The other leg( which is the base side of the triangle) always stays the same when continuing on with the spiral. The formula we had to use in order to make the spiral was the Pythagorean Theorem formula, which was "A squared + B squared= C squared."
2. Here are the following steps it took me:
a. I began with using the Pythagorean Theorem for solving the triangles' hypotenuses.
b. I wrote all of my work in a separate sheet of paper for my calculations.
c . I then used that value of the hypotenuses and let that be the next right triangle's "height" leg part and continued on with using the Pythagorean Theorem until I made the spiral.
d. This wasn't technically a step after step c, but overall, I tried my best for erasing the lines of the spiral so that I can try to make it straight as possible.
e. I finished off with coloring and making designs on the spiral.
3. This assignment demonstrates that I truly understand how to solve for the Pythagorean Theorem. It also shows that I knew what to do to make the spiral, which was following the rule for the measurements. I also added some creativity, which included nice colors and designs. It was good, but not great, since I got a 3 on that part, which was okay. Also, I showed that I give the measurements and work to show how I solved for each triangle.
4. I could have improved on this assignment by making sure that I was making my spiral neat with no crooked lines. It's because I should always be careful when I am handling my work, especially for the future because when I do something, it always has to be neat and edible in order to be good. Also, I could have thought of a better design for my spiral since I got a 3 on that portion for my grading. I should've added more colors and pizzazz to it. In the grading sheet, I was all right with my calculations and measurements for solving using the Pythagorean Theorem and this shows me that I had no trouble with, but the creativity and neatness was a little problem since I got a 3 on them.
5. I could relate this to the real world when I am conducting an experiment in my dream job( which has to do with in the medical field). Since I'll have to know specific numbers and chemicals of what to use, including formulas( like the Pythagorean Theorem). Since the parts of the Pythagorean Theorem formula ( A squared and B squared) are like the reactant parts of the chemicals I'll use, there will be an outcome for the medicine( just like the C squared part is the outcome in the Pythagorean Theorem). When solving for the triangles in the assignment, it allowed us to make a spiral. In my relation to this, the medicine I produce will allow a good use in treating others.
