We came up with our word problem idea because I didn’t know what to do so I looked out the window and saw a triangular roof, and then I began cutting pieces of the house off in my head. Soon I had a tent like triangle. So I decided, hey, why not have 2 people trying to figure out what half of their tent would be? So I made up Sterling and Percy, then came up with the word problem and question based off a tent. Also, I had some help on the question from Mr. Devries. What we got for the answer of our tent was 7.81 Ft, it made sense after I fixed some things. Like we started with the hypotenuses were 6ft, and the bottom was 10ft, but if you split them it would be 5ft along bottom and 6ft hypotenuse, but that didn’t make sense for the answer we got for that was 3.32 ft. So I changed some things, and did that 6ft was the inside leg, and 5ft was still the bottom for each right triangle, when I did those numbers I got, 7.81ft as the hypotenuse, that made SO much more sense.
