Main Concepts
Discussion Questions
Before the Game
What is the Pythagorean Theorem? What is the rule for the sum of angles in a triangle and a quadrilateral? What are some real-world scenarios where finding a missing angle measurement or side length may be important?
After the Game
In this game, you were required to use the missing angle to help you solve an equation - how did you go about doing this? How were linear equations used to solve for the unknown angle sizes? If you built a triangular plot with lengths 40 feet and 30 feet, what would be the length of the missing side of the property?
