Princess of Parallelogram

Born on May 17, 1792 at Elmore Hall, Pittington, Durham. Her complete name was Anne Isabella Byron. As a child, Anne was incredibly smart, her parents hired a former tutor for her. By doing this this also led her to be called "Princess of Parallelogram." Anne married lord Byron on the 2nd of January of 1812. Sadly the marriage was divorced by Anne in 1816 with the help of her parents. She died in 1860 and was buried at Kensal Green Cemetery, Londen.

Tennessee

The formula is the same for all parallelograms is because they all have the same thing in common and they have the same amount of area in them. The thing that they have in common is that they all have base and height, or length and width. The base of Tennessee is 440 miles and the height is 900 feet above sea level.  My total area in feet was 2,090,880,000 feet.
The actual area of Tennessee is 42,146 square miles, making it the 36th largest of the 50 states.

Ch. 10 hw

I learned that in ch. 10 all about the theorems and all of the circles. This can be applied to real life as in sailing. When they did not know how to get to on are suck as going to England then to Norway then to Iceland. They use to have to go to Iceland back to Norway then England. With the use of angles and the Pythagorean theorem. They saved time and money. One question i still have is how you get some of the angle measurements.
