TRIANGLE PROBLEMBy: Steph Zalalas, Amy Zuckerman,

and Amanda Hooven(There was an odd number, that’s

why we have a group of 3)

One day a flock of knights were riding there horses through the forest. All of

the sudden they heard small cries, they continued to ride following the sounds of

these small shrikes. They quickly realized it was young Rapunzel who was

crying so terribly.

The knights spotted her at the top of a 12 foot tower. The knights quickly conversed of ideas on how to save Rapunzel. One brave knight decided

to take on the challenge of saving young Rapunzel. The knight was standing 5 feet away

from the tower. How high will the knight have to climb to get to young Rapunzel? What is the

angle that is made by the ground and the path the knight must climb to rescue Rapunzel.
