Chair Angles

November 27, 2012

30 degree angles

We tried to see if the hard part of making the lounge chair from the red simple machine sets could be done first.

The chair can recline in 7 positions.
They measured the angle for each of the first 6 positions.
Then figured out the 7th and checked.

Figuring out the differences
or graphing the data helped with the hypothesis.


Visualize a line through the first 6 and estimate the 7th.

Then check.
