I guess this'll be the new Pythagoras assignment for my 13 year olds next year

"How long is this newt"

LOL, i love it!

If each square is half a cm, the newt is 6.8 cm long

Congratulations, but as a true dutch teacher I do require the calculations too and not just the answer!

Pythagorean Theorum
A squared + B squared =C squared

64 + 121 = 185

square root of 185 = 13.2

13.2/2 = 6.8 cm

Is that calculations enough?

if its one of your tylos then the answer is 'not long enough'
