Riding on Angles


Thanks to Zachary B. for sending in this photo of angles he saw in the real world! Looks like he is pretty close on his estimates of the degree measures (although the spelling is a little off :) ). Way to go!!

On Thursday, when we learned how even a small miscalculation in degrees can send a flight far off course, several of you had asked about where to find the free Google Earth program. Just follow this link. Then click the "download" button.

  2. Hi Shalora,

    I think what Zachary was saying when he made this picture was that each of those acute angles is 20 degrees and the other one is 80 degrees. Hope this helps; if not, let me know. Thanks for commenting on the blog!!
