Triangles, triangles everywhere • 1. Sides: 2.5”, 2.5”, 5.25” • Degrees: 30, 30, 120 • 2. Sides: 4.5”, 4.5”, 2.75” • Degrees: 80, 80, 20 • 3. Sides: 4.5”, 4.5”, 5.5” • Degrees: 55, 55, 70 • 4. Sides: 8”, 3”, 7.25” • Degrees: 10, 80, 90 • 5. Sides: 3”, 2.5”, 4.75” • Degrees: 30, 50, 100 • 6. Sides: 4.75”, 4.75”, 5.5” • Degrees: 55, 55, 70 • 7.

Triangle #1 • Sine: -0.9880 = 1.25/2.5 • Cosine: 0.1542 = 2.125/2.5 • Tangent: -6.4053 = 1.25/2.125 • Secant: 2.5/1.25 = 2 • Cosecant: 2.5/2.125 = 1.1764 • Cotangent: 2.125/1.25 = 1.7 • The math worked because I was able to get valid results.
Triangle #2 • Sine = -0.5440 = 1.375/4.5 • Cosine = 4.431/4.5 = -0.8390 • Tangent = 1.375/4.431 • Secant = 4.5/4.431 = 1.015 • Cosecant = 4.5/1.375 = 3.272 • Cotangent = 4.431/1.375 = 3.222 • The math worked because these numbers were able to be acquired.
Triangle #3 • Sine = 32.25/4.5 = 7.16 • The math I was able to do seemed a bit odd.
Conclusion • We built a very strange-looking building. In my opinion, it looks like an ammunition pile going off, complete with rockets. The only logical conclusion I can think of for why it is so stable is the sheer amount of right triangles that were created during construction. The equations seemed to work quite well, I was able to find the sine, cosine, tangent, secant, cosecant, and cotangent without much difficulty (once I was finally made to understand how, anyways). • I believe the measurements were fairly accurate, although I had to adjust the angles a bit. A few minor difficulties were had with the measuring of the angles, but those were sorted out quickly. The math worked as expected and I was able to collect results from it.
