Exercise 20 Page 638

The internet contains several tools which can be used to calculate the distance on a map. Finding one of these tools may be helpful for you.

Perimeter: 3043 mi.
Area: 450 000mi.^2
Sides: 1040 mi., 1040 mi., and 963 mi.
Cities: Los Angeles, Sundance, and Sanderson

Practice makes perfect
Using a map distance calculator from the internet, we were able to both measure the distance of the Bermuda Triangle's sides and calculate its area. The area is approximately 450 000mi^2 and, knowing the sides, we can also calculate the perimeter to about 3043mi.

It is pretty much impossible to find three cities that create a triangle congruent with the Bermuda triangle. However, we have done our best with the picture below.
