Rihanna and Darth Vader By: Danny and Derrick Once upon a time, there was a youngster named Rihanna and she met Darth Vader. Vader was a bad guy but Rihanna did not know that. Rihanna was buying medications and Darth Vader was buying a new light saber. Darth Vader also worked at Walgreens. He was working as a cashier that day but on his break he bought a light saber and Jordans to defeat Yoda. Rihanna was next in line and Darth Vader checked her stuff out. Vader invited her to a party that he was having. Rihanna said yes then Vader said, “See you at the party.” Next, Rihanna ran into Vader at McDonald’s and Vader offered to buy Rihanna a Happy Meal. Then they became friends that day. Darth Vader forgot to tell Rihanna the address of the party so he told her the address is 1278 Star Creek, Triangle Planet. Drake and 2 Chainz were cousins of Rihanna. Drake and 2 Chainz found out that Rihanna and Vader were friends and they tried reminding her that Vader is a bad guy. Rihanna did not listen them so the only thing they could do was go to the space party to protect Rihanna. After That, Rihanna and her posse went to space where Darth Vader’s party was at. They went to the entrance where Chewbacca was guarding Vader. He did not know that 2 Chainz and Drake were going to the party so he did not have their names on the list and they could not go in. Drake and 2 Chainz had to stay outside of the party. When they spent an hour outside Drake asked 2 Chainz if he wanted to shoot a music video at the triangle planet. They first had to find the measures of the sides to plan the video shoot. They already drove two sides to get to the party and knew that the planet was a right triangle. They measured the size of the longest side as 8 miles and the smallest side was 5 miles. Now they just needed to find the missing side. (Pause for the math)

The missing side was going to be x, they said. They had to find x squared by making an equation of ______plus ______has to be ______. Then they got rid of the squares by multiplying the numbers by themselves and now it is _____ plus _____ equals _____. They subtracted _____ from both sides and got _____. Then they found ______and they found out that the medium side was about _____ miles. Now all they had to do is make a hit song and video at triangle planet. One week later Darth Vader and Rihanna got married on Darth Vader’s TIE Fighter. Rihanna and Vader had two kids: a girl named Leia and a son named Luke. 2 Chainz and Drake made their music video and it was a great success with 5 million hits on SpaceTube. But one day, Darth Vader got mad at Rihanna, cut her into pieces, and abandoned Princess Leia and Luke Sky Walker. He is now evil in space and not working at Walgreens anymore. THE END In order to get credit for each problem, you must have a correctly labeled diagram, an equation that is fully solved with work to support it, and the correct answer with units.

Situation 1 – The Ladder Situation 2 – Soccer Field This is Martín’s house. He has a window with a Bianca has a soccer scrimmage to play in. Her ledge that is four feet off the ground, and he dad drops her off next to the field, part way grows flowers on this ledge. Martín is much too down.

Problem 3 – Camping Situation 4 – Ziplining Khan is out camping when she realizes that it is Henderson was at a pool party where there was a about to rain! She needs to make some shelter zipline that went straight into the water. He quickly to protect herself from the rain. She has started at the top of the platform and rode the a piece of waterproof fabric and a pole. Half the zipline 30 feet into the water. He then swam width of fabric piece measures 29 inches and the back 24 feet to the base of the platform. He was pole is 21 inches tall. How far would she have to pretty tired at this point and wasn’t sure if he had pin down the edge of the fabric on each side of the strength to climb straight up to the top of the the pole to make the tent as solid as possible? platform again. How high up was the platform?
