Jenna has a problem. She is flying to the amazon on a helicopter she is going on vacation to the Amazon and her best friend Miah is back at her house. She wants to know how far away she is from Miah. She is 1 mile high in the air and Miah is 3,600 miles away from the point directly below her. How far away are Jenna and Miah?

 

a2 + b2= c2

12 + 36002 = c2

1 + 12,960,000  = c2

12,960,001 = c2

12,960,000= c

3600.00013889 = c

3600 = c

 

Reflection:

We failed many times trying to make our problem about pizza and then thought of the word problem about the two people  that was in one of our assignments. Our results make sense because 1 times anything is itself and that is what we got.
