  3. For #15, you should be able to do part a... that's just finding the hypotenuse given two legs of a right triangle.

    For part b you can estimate. There are many possible solutions for the length and width of the screen (aka the length of the two legs).

    For #21, I'm gonna let you struggle with that one (it's fun to be nasty). Hint: can you superimpose a right triangle on top of the map that can help you find the distance from point A to point B?

    If your only troubles are 15b and 21, you're doing just fine. You can ask (or re-ask) any lingering questions from hw #3-1, too)

  8. Yup, "arm" is onto something... and believe it or not, you're in search of a leg!!

  9. I got number 21 cause I found 2 triangles.
    I keep trying numbers and they don't seem to work for 15(b).
