For our experiment we made a zip line. We came up with the idea by thinking how tall something would be an how long in order to get the correct amount of something. We first thought we would make a fish blocker, but that wouldn’t really work. So than we came up with the idea of a zip line. It has a certain height and it has to end at a certain point and the hypotenuse is how much chord the zip line needs. This makes sense because the chord is longer than the start to finish. This also makes sense because it isn’t are perfect square so we would come out with a number with lots of decimals. Overall this was great project and we learned a lot about the pythagorean theorem.
