Think we're so advanced?  Eratosthenes discovered the circumference of the earth using a stick in Ancient Alexandria.

We spent a lot of time talking about the proper tool one would need in order to find the measures needed to find the area of a triangle within a regular polygon.  Remember that SOH-CAH-TOA is a great tool for finding a measure in a right triangle if you have a  side and an angle so regardless which measure they give you, you should be able to set up a trig equation to find a missing measure.  I'm looking forward to sharing information on here with you this semester.  If you get an opportunity, go ahead and start on the worksheets in the packet handed out in class today.  Let's see who read the blog page tomorrow!  We will review the volume equations tomorrow for objects with one or two bases tomorrow.
