Martin, Angie, JP, Maria and Camila wanted to made a sailboat sail. They knew the height of the sail was 200 feet high. They also knew the base of the sail was 100 feet wide. They need to figure out what the other side is so they can successfully build a sail. What is the measurement of the hypotenuse?

We learned that you need to keep track of your stuff like our boat that we lost. It would have been a lot easier if we had that boat we would have finished way faster. But we worked together good and we learned from our mistakes and we finished with time to spare. We got this idea of a sailboat because it seemed like a problem that could be happening right now that needed to be solved. Also because people make sailboat sails these days and could be very helpful for them. Once we got this idea we knew it was a perfect problem for this project.
