A Cheesy Pythagorean Theorem

Jan. 24, 2022
In Mr. James’s Geometry class, students explored the Pythagorean theorem using Cheezits! It was easy to prove that a2+b2=c2 using the cheese crackers. Making a square along each side, side a needed 16 Cheezits, side b need 9 Cheezits, and side c needed 25 Cheezits. Since 9+16=25, a2+b2=c2! Now time for a snack!
