Pythagorean Theorem Project Reflection

Hannah, Eva, Abi

Our project was about the distance between a girl, and her cousin just taking off in an airplane. The girl on the ground wanted to know how far away her cousin was from herself. She knew how far up her cousin was (73 feet), and how far away she was from the plane (10560 feet), but she needed to know the direct distance. Coming up with the idea was somewhat hard, but it wasn’t my idea so I’m not sure how she came up with it. The answer to the problem was 10560.25 feet away, which I think makes sense because after you square the numbers and add them, the answer would be close to our answer.
