Help I have Amnesia
I was supposed to start a new unit with you this week. I had a tragic accident on the ice yesterday. I slipped and bumped my head. I do not remember what I was supposed to teach you. Although I do remember my name, where I live and who all of you are (aliens I think!!)
All I have left are a few artifacts in my backpack and these movies had put into a blog post. Help me out. Can you figure out what I was going to teach you and teach me before I regain my memory.
The Artifacts
Some important vocabulary was left on a piece of paper too.
Your Assignment
Here are 3 Possible Problems you can use for this post. You need to use one of them. I will post the other word problem soon.
Find the missing side length or side lengths. Show all of your work.
