During this lesson, we learned rudimentary ways to estimate the value of an imperfect square root. We began approximating irrational numbers as closer to a particular whole number, but will refine this in future lessons.
This lesson had us revisit the Pythagorean Theorem, but this time we explored situations where a, b, and c might not ALL be whole numbers. We looked at what happens if one of our side lengths is an irrational number.
