 Task 3:(__________ / 15)

Context: Imagine you are a tutor working with a student who is struggling to
understand the distance formula, d = (x2 − x1 )2 + (y2 − y1 )2 . They can calculate
distances when given specific coordinates, but they have difficulty explaining the
formula in their own words or applying it to solve problems in different contexts.

Explain: Can you explain the distance formula, d = (x2 − x1 )2 + (y2 − y1 )2 , to

your student in your own words?

What does each part of the formula represent (d, x1 , x2, y1 , y2 )?

How does the formula relate to the concept of distance between two points on a
coordinate plane?

Illustrate:

Draw a visual representation (e.g., diagram or graph) to illustrate the formula and
its components.

Label the key elements (coordinates, distance) to aid understanding.

Apply:

Pose a real-world scenario (different from the park design context) where the
distance formula can be applied.

Guide your student through the steps of solving the problem using the formula.

Task 4:(__________ / 15)

Context: You are working as a photographer and are interested in capturing

the different architectural styles of buildings in your city. You notice that some
buildings have triangular roof lines, and you suspect some might be similar or
even congruent.
Building A: Pyramids of Gyza

Building B: Sydne Opera House

Task:

Investigate: You have taken these photographs of several buildings with

triangular roof lines. For each photograph, measure the lengths of the sides
and angles of the triangle using a ruler and protractor.

Analyze: Organize your data in a table, recording the building name, triangle
side lengths, and angle measures. Analyze the data to identify any patterns or
relationships between the triangles.

Classify: Based on your analysis, classify each triangle as congruent,

similar, or neither. Explain your reasoning for each classification using the
criteria for similarity and congruence (e.g., corresponding angles, proportional
side lengths).

Explain: Why might architects choose to use similar or congruent triangles in

building design? Consider factors like structural stability, aesthetics, and
functionality.

Challenge: Can you find any real-world examples of other objects or

structures that utilize similar or congruent triangles? Explain how these
triangles contribute to the object's function or design.
