Sails

                                                          Measurement

Our challenge is to:

• Create a matching sail for your yacht.
• Explain how you would work out how much material would be required to make both sails.

1. I measured the length of the triangle on the right and left sides. The measurement for the right side was 20.6cm and the left side was 23.5cm. Also the width is 11.7cm.

2. After that I made another sail with those measurements.

3. I then joined the two sails together to make a rectangle.

4. I then measured the width and length on that. The length was 20.6 and the width was 11.7cm.

5.I timesed those together to get 245.14cm². That is how much material I need.

6. Finally I stuck my other triangle onto the piece of paper like this:
