In this investigation, you explored squares and segments drawn on dot paper. You learned that the side length of a square is the positive square
root of the square's area. You also discovered that, in many cases, a
square root is not a whole number. These questions will help you
summarize what you have learned.
Think about your answers to these questions. Discuss your ideas with
other students and your teacher. Then write a summary of your findings
in your notebook.
1. Describe how you would find the length of a line segment
connecting two dots on dot paper. Be sure to consider horizontal,
vertical, and tilted segments.
