Lesson 6
A Proof of the Pythagorean Theorem
Problem 1
- Find the lengths of the unlabeled sides.
- One segment is \(n\) units long and the other is \(p\) units long. Find the value of \(n\) and \(p\). (Each small grid square is 1 square unit.)

(From Unit 7, Lesson 4.)Problem 5
Here is a scatter plot of weight vs. age for different Dobermans. The model, represented by \(y = 2.45x + 1.22\), is graphed with the scatter plot. Here, \(x\) represents age in weeks, and \(y\) represents weight in pounds.
