Albrea Doss Denise Brenneman Lane Crossen pd07-03    All of the angles in our chair are 90 degrees. We have obtained the measurements above by measuring a school chair to see what a comfortable seat and back would be. We rounded our measurements of the school chair seat to the nearest foot (which was one). We decided to make the back of the chair longer than our model seat was in school, and came to a decision of 2 feet. We used trig in our project by finding the height of our chair and the width. We found our height by using Pythagorean Theorem. (a^2+b^2=c^2) The chair is two feet tall and the width is 1.5 feet tall, those squared and added are 6.25. Then we took the square root of 6.25 to find the height of 2.5 feet. We found the width by squaring 1.5 and 1, to get 3.25, took the square root of 3.25, and our final answer for width is 1.8 feet long.

Denise-

1.If the chair has 2 legs, making the front legs shorter and the back legs longer, gives the chair a comfortable lounging position.

2. Making a bog chair is much more harder then it looks

3.I learned to look at the world around me as potential tools in solving a problem. I did this when I based the measurements of our chair off of the chair I was sitting in.

specific contributions-I found real life picture of what the completed chair would look like and also made the computer diagram depicting the measurements of the chair. I had a major role in the brainstorming of our project having the idea of getting measurements for our chair’s seat and back; from a school desk chair. I also made a mini replica of our chair so we could have better visualization in our planning.

 * 1) Measurements are important.
 * 1) Finding the angle of a chair is easy when it intersects perpendicularly.
 * 1) Bog chairs look uncomfortable.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Specific Contributions- I found the basic information we needed, such as what the bog chaired looked like and how it was formed. I helped find the measurements we would use for our bog chair.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Specific contributions- I drew up the blueprint and was responsible for the proper measurements to make the chair fit suitably and sit comfortably.
