Guide Questions:
What’s In
You’ve just tried your understanding in solving radical equations
by answering the previous activity. Let us now try to solve some
problems of how radical equations are used in the real world situations.
Activity 2:
1. How far can you see to the horizon through an airplane window at a
height of 8000 m?
Answer: At a height of 8,000m, one can see 7. 455 miles or
approximately 2.73 miles or 4393 meters to the horizon through an
airplane window.
2. How far can a sailor see to the horizon from the top of a 20 m
mast?
Answer: A sailor can see 0. 01864 miles or approximately
0.01364 miles or 219.51 meters to the horizon from the top of a
20m mast.
3. How far can you see to the horizon through an airplane window at a
height of 9800 m?
Answer: A man can see 9. 1344 miles or approximately 3.02
miles or 4860.22 meters on the horizon through an airplane window
at a height of 9800m.
What’s New
Activity 3:
Solve the given problems then answer the questions that follow.
Example:
1. How would you illustrate the problem?
2. How far will Juan travel along the shortcut?
3. How many meters will he save by taking the short cut rather than
walking along the sidewalks?
4. If one of the distances increases/decrease, what might happen to
the distance of the shortcut? Justify your answer.
5. What mathematical concepts did you use?
Answers:
1.
What Is It
Solution:
Let’s recall the formula: ℎ = 1. 34 𝑙
● 𝑙 represents the length of sailboats waterline in feet
● ℎ represents the hull speed
We know that the hull speed (ℎ) is 10 nautical miles per
hours. If we substitute it in ℎ = 1. 34 𝑙 ,
we get,
10 = 1. 34 𝑙
Now, we need to solve for 𝑙.
(Answer: about 55.65 ft.)
What’s More
Activity 4:
Questions:
1. How did you interpret the illustration?
2. What problem have you formulated?
3. How did you solve the problem? What concepts/skills have you applied?
4. Show your solution.
5. What is your final answer?
6. If the height of the light house changed from 63 meters, what will be its
effect on the distance of the ship from the base of the light house?
7. How will you apply the concepts of radicals to a real-life situation?
Answers:
1. The illustration shows that a 63m lighthouse is 525 nautical miles away
to the base of a boat on the sea.
2. From the top of the lighthouse, how far in meters is the base to the boat?
2 2
3. Using the equation 𝑐 = 𝑎 + 𝑏 and the skills needed in simplifying radical
equations.
1852
4. 525 𝑛𝑎𝑢𝑡 . 𝑚𝑖𝑙𝑒𝑠 × 1 𝑛𝑎𝑢𝑡 .𝑚𝑖𝑙𝑒 = 972, 300 𝑚
2 2
𝑐= 𝑎 +𝑏
2 2
𝑐 = (63𝑚) + (972300)
𝑐≈972, 300 𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑠
5. The lighthouse is approximately 972,300 meters away from the base of the
boat on the sea.
6. If the height of the light house changed from 63 meters to 85 meters, there
will be a little effect to the distance of the ship from the base of the light
house, from 972,299.998 meters to 972,299.9963 meters.
7. Use the understanding on simplifying radical equations to solve real-life
related problems. The skill of approximating radicals is also necessary.
𝐿
𝑇 = 2π 32
is the formula which gives the time (T) in seconds for a
pendulum of length (L) in feet (ft) to complete one full cycle.
Questions:
1. How did you understand the illustration?
2. What problem have you formulated?
3. How did you solve the problem? What concepts/skills have you applied?
4. Show your solution.
5. What is your final answer?
6. How long is the pendulum if it will take 1 second to complete one full
cycle?
7. How would you apply the concepts of radicals to a real-life situation?
