Project
CONGRATULATIONS! You just bought your first hovercraft. This machine can hover up to 6 feet above ground. You and a few friends want to take a trip to test it out! First you need to know how long of a distance your test trip will be so you can make sure you have enough fuel. Also, since this is a hovercraft you do not want to use roads, because who needs a road with a hovercraft?!?! Follow the steps below to complete your project. Write all work and answers to each step on a piece of paper (this will be turned in for your grade). Everyone will have the same answer for #1.
​
1. You will be starting at Eureka (pink star on map above).
2. Choose a city along route 24 (pink line on the map above). (example: Fairbury)
​
3. From there go straight up the map to find another town. (example:Odell)
4. Make a sketch of the triangle your towns create.
​
5. Look up the distance between Eureka and the answer to #2 Also look up the distance between the answer to #2 and the answer to #3. (these are the legs of your triangle)
​
6. Use the pythagorean theorem to find the straight-line distance from Eureka to your answer in #3.
​
7. Your hovercraft gets 31 miles per gallon. If gas costs $2.12 per gallon, how much will it cost to hover from Eureka to your city in #3 and back?
​
8. You want to go on a hover trip, now that you have gone for a test drive and decided to buy this hover craft. If you are to travel from eureka to Chicago (only one way) to watch a Bulls basektball game. figure out how much it would cost you in gas money. (The Bulls play at the United Center ;) in case you didn't know)
