distances between locations.

3) History - The theorem has historical significance in ancient Greek mathematics.

Across:

1) Art - Artists use the Pythagorean theorem in constructing perspective drawings.

2) Physical Education - Coaches may use the theorem in planning athletic field
layouts.

3) Home Economics - The theorem can be applied in measuring fabric for sewing
projects.

ELICIT:

- Brainstorming
