Objective: you are to create and solve your own unique story problem that utilizes the Pythagorean Theorem.

For example…. Check out mine I made

Mrs. Jones must determine how much fence to purchase in order to enclose two corrals for her horses, Shane, Blaze, and Emerald. Her rectangle property is 65 yards wide by 72 yards long. She needs to split her corral with a wooden fence connecting two opposite corners. How much fencing should she buy?

Solution:

To find the diagonal, we must use the Pthagorean Theorem:

72 squared + 65 squared = d squared
5184 + 4225 = d squared
9409 = d squared
97 = d

To find the perimeter of the field, we must use P = 2L + 2W:

P = 2 * 72 + 2 * 65
= 144 + 130
= 274

Total Fencing Needed: 97 + 274 = 371 yards

well thats my problem, hope you guys like it and I cant wait to see your guys problems

okay so i come from a small town and I have two friends but they are really only my friends because there isn’t really anyone else. I know that sounds mean, but really, we don’t even get along…

Anyway, my mom lives in Eugene, OR so i was thinking after high school, i would go to Lane Community College to start, and then transfer to a University. Probably U of O. I have wanted to do this since 8th grade year and i can really see myself going with that.

My friend and I (one that likes me…but doesn’t treat me like it. uhg….and i don’t really like her at all), were talking about our futures and all of a sudden, she is like "yeah i’m moving to Eugene and also going to go to Lane! And then we can get an apartment together and take similair classes just like now"

This is really upsetting me. I just want to leave high school and leave everyone in this town. I honestly don’t want to see any of them again, including my "friends". Now she is acting set on that we are gonna go to Eugene over spring break our senior year and find jobs and an apartment. I don’t want to do this. I could easily tell her i don’t want to do the apartment thing but i just want to be independant FOR ONCE. My friends are so controlling and i want away from it. I don’t even want to be in the same school as her.

I so bad want to be over there with my mom to help re build our relationship (parents divorce)…and i have been so serious about what i want to do but my "friend" is just ruining everything. I would seriously consider NOT going just because of her. uhhhhhh!!!! help please!!!!! btw, im a junior this year.
oh and sorry for any spelling/grammer errors. i typed this on my ipod. lol

and its not like i’m just letting her control me, i just don’t know how to handle this.

I recently planted rows of young emerald green arborvitaes (about 2-3 feet tall) around my property for privacy. Some are turning a yellow green color. We have had 90 degree plus temps here in PA and no rain at all. I have been out there 4-5 days a week with the hose watering them. Am I overwatering or underwatering? Some look fine but some are turning yellow. How do I tell if they need more water or less? It is critical because I am probably going to lose a few unless I can determine if they need more or less water.

My fiance and I are moving to the Emerald City soon. By soon, I mean 116 days (we’re counting down). I can give lots of good reasons as to why we’re moving, but it’s a definite YES that it’s going to happen, as soon as the day after Thanksgiving this year.
We’re both getting into our late 20′s and want to start our lives somewhere different. We are pretty rural people, coming from small towns in New Hampshire. We would prefer the countryside over the city but there is a lot we need to do in and around Seattle, so closer the better. We’re looking for a region to live that can give us some sort of view of nature, whether it be right next door or in the distance. We’d rather not be in a completely urbanized environment. We have two large golden retrievers and plan on getting more dogs in the future … I’m living with a dog trainer, what do you expect. We also have cats, so it’s safe to say we need a pet friendly place. We also need space, but that doesn’t necessarily mean a 3,000 square foot home. We’d suffice with 800 at this point (or lower if we had to). We’re living in a smaller area right now so it wouldn’t be much different.
We are evening job people, as we are still going to college during the day for a number of years coming. We would rather not commute long distances, but I know the transit system around Seattle isn’t the best and the freeways can get packed.
So, all that said, we need to find a small and decent home near Seattle that gives a nice little glimpse of the country, but gives a decently shortly commute to school or work. For me that’s Bastyr University in Kenmore, WA right on Lake Washington, and for my fiance it’s University of Washington, Seattle Campus. In terms of jobs, I’m already a massage practitioner in New Hampshire and plan on renewing my licensed in Washington, and she’s a professional dog trainer. But I guess I’ll save job questions for another post sometime soon.
I’d like to note that one of our options, aside from renting a decent place that allows dogs, is finding property to purchase, but we wouldn’t want any less than 1 to 2 acres, so I know that can’t be too urban.
Thank you for any advice you can gives us as to where to move.
Thank you for the answers so far. A little commute won’t hurt us, but we just enjoy our rural lifestyle. However, if you know of any good suburban places where we could rent a decent house or a good size apartment that allows dogs, that’s good enough for us too. We’ll be moving during the holiday season. Not the best time I know, but our only real choice for the time being.
