Jacob and Sushi have been reading a book about the Titanic and decided to go take a trip to find it!
The Mathematical Journey of Jacob and Sush By: Lauren Lucas and Brittney Bentz
Titanic
Oh my I can't believe we found the ship! I wonder how tall that flag pole is?
Remember in the book it said the length of the boat was 50 feet and the flagpole stands in the middle, making the lengt 25 feet from the base of the flagpole to the end of the boat? Also keep in mind we are looking up at the flag pole at an angle of 32 degrees
height
Exactly! the formula would be tan(32)= height/2525(tan(32))=height16.5 feet= height!
Oh yes I remember that, reading that we can now use the tangent ratio we learned to find the height
25 Feet
32 Degrees
Oh look Tom, Holland, and Kroger. It seems like they are playing our favorite game!
I wonder how far apart they are from each other.
12 feet
10 feet
If the lenths between each friend is 10, 12, 15 feet we can use Haron's formula to find the area!
15 Feet
12 feet
10 feet
15 Feet
In our case the formula would look like the square root of s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)To find "s" you add all sides together and divide by two.
There for we would find the square root of 18.5(18.5-10)(18.5-12)(18.5-15)= 59.81 feet!
