If the small triangles are worth 1, determine the value of the other Tangram pieces.
Be sure to explain your reasoning.
More Challenging Version:
Find the fractional part each tangram piece is of the whole (all 7 pieces).
Now, suppose the large triangles are worth 1/2, determine the value of the other Tangram pieces.

What is the square root of a fraction?
It is another fraction, as well as its negative value.
If a triangle has two side lengths of five and twelve what is the value of the third side?
If the triangle is a right triangle then you can figure the third side called the hypotenuse. Square the first side, square the second side then add them together. Take the square root of that total and that will be the third side. 5^2=25 12^2=144 25+144=169 13x13=169 so the hypotenuse is 13.
How do you work out the value of a triangle?
A triangle does not have any particular value. There are the magnitudes of its size, its angles, its area, its perimeter etc, but no single VALUE.
Can a triangle exist whose sum of two sides is equal to third side?
No. No Triangle exists where the sum of 2 sides of the triangle is either equal to the third side or is less than the third side.Even, if we consider Right-Angled Triangle, then according to Pythagoras Theorem, c2= a2+b2, where c=Hypotenuse, a and b are the other 2 sides of the triangle. Now, if we consider the minimum +ve value of a and b which is greater than 0, i.e, if we consider a = 1 unit and b = 1 unit, then the value ofc = square-root of (1^2 + 1^2) = square-root of (1 + 1 ) = square-root of (2) which is < than the sum of the value of side a and b. Since the value of square-root is additive in nature, for any +ve value of a and b, this result stands true.Hence, The Triangle Inequality Theorem states that the sum of any 2 sides of a triangle must be greater than the the measure of the third side. This rule must be satisfied for all 3 permutations of the sides. In other words, as soon as you know that the sum of 2 sides is less than the measure of a third side, then you know that the sides do not make up a triangle .Regards,Suvarthi DasBirati, Kolkata-81

How do you find the value of x in a polygon?
Well that totally depends on the polygon, if it's a hexagon, triangle, square, the answers are different
When it is necessary to use the absolute value symbol to represent a square root?
At any time when you need the positive square root, for example when working out triangle sides using Pythagoras

What is the value of 9 in 59.65 in a fraction?
Its value as an improper fraction is 9/1
Which fraction has the least value?
There is no fraction that has a least value since it is always possible to find another fraction that is smaller.
Why is the square root of a fraction greater than the given fraction?
You mean a proper fraction (less than 1). Multiply anything by less than 1 and you will make it smaller. Therefore the square root of your result is bigger than the start value. For numbers bigger than one it's the other way round.
How do you find eh absolute value of a fraction?
If the fraction is already positive, then it is also the absolute value. If the fraction is negative, just change the sign and it becomes the absolute value. Absolute value means the magnitude (value) of the fraction without any sign attribute.
What does the representative fraction tell you?
It is the value of the fraction.
