1. You can use Google Maps to get latitude and longitude coordinates of a location. Simply right-click and select “What’s here?”  A green arrows displays on the graph and the coordinates appear in the search bar. Copy the coordinates. (+N or –S, +E or –W)

2. Do you recognize this place? Notice it is broken into four triangles.

3. Use Wolfram alpha to calculate the distance between the two coordinates. You must include the N/S and E/W designations. A B

4. B C

5. A C

6. D C

7. D A

8. E F

9. D F

10. E D

11. A F

Use what you have learned about oblique triangles in this chapter to find the area (in acres) of the Powder Ridge Property.
1 acre = 4,840 square yards
SHOW ALL WORK and use appropriate labels and units!

13. I used Heron’s Formula and calculated 217 acres. Not bad, huh?
