At the beginning of today's class we did the POTD (problem of the day). I'm not going to give the solution because that is way too much work to do. But in case there is some on the blog that wants to try it, I'll put the problem.
.
Find a point on the x-axis that has a distance of 10units from the point (4,6)
.
We established that the midpoint of a line is the point directly in the middle of a line (the halfway mark)

Hellow there!

So, last friday we started a new unit called "DISTANCE BETWEEN POINTS."

DISTANCE FORMULA:

Find the distance between a(3,6) and B(7,9).

ex.

The distance between two points can be expressed in terms of their coordinates by using the Pythagorean theorem.

In a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (longest side) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.

Hello there Agent Gummy Bear.

Your first mission is this...
1) Click on the link SCRIBE POST HALL OF FAME (you will find it on the right side of the screen).
2) Choose any 1 of the posts that has been inducted into the hall of fame and answer the following questions in the comment area of this post. (Click on 'comments' below). Each HALL OF FAME POST can only be used once, so make sure that no one has commented on it before you (or yours will not count).

QUESTIONS TO ANSWER:
1) What is the TITLE of the post and who was the author?
2) What is the math topic that the person was writing about?
3) What reasons were given for inducting this post into the hall of fame?
4) What did you think of the persons work? Don't forget to be respectful of people's work and the safety issues that we discussed in class.

In order to give you credit for doing this homework assignment you must use your real first name (NO last name).

Have fun... and welcome to YOUR blog.

Hey Gummy Bears,
This is The Scribe List. Every possible scribe in our class is listed here. This list will be updated every day. If you see someone's name on this list in Blue Font then you CANNOT choose them as the scribe for the next class.This post can be quickly accesed from the [Links] list on the right hand sidebar. Check the list before you choose a scribe for tomorrow's class when it is your turn to do so. At the end of your scribe post, let us know who will be scribing tomorrow.
