The next place she goes is in Paris, France. The Louvre is one of the biggest museums in the world. But how big is the building? Clarke wants to know. She asked a tour guide and he only knew two angles and the bottom length, determine the other side.

The Bermuda Triangle AAS

The Great Pyramid at Giza SSS

After the last voyage, Clarke crosses the Atlantic Ocean to get back to her home, but on her way back, she gets lost in the Bermuda Triangle. Even though she may never get back to her friends, she STILL wants to know the distance between Puerto Rico and Bermuda before she mysteriously vanishes.

After exploring Europe, Clarke gets bored and decided to head south. She finds a great pyramid and what's a better triangle than that? She remembers reading in her history book that the sides were 418 meters and the length across the bottom was 440 meters. But what are the angles? She uses the information she knows to find the top angle. It gets too hot so she heads back to the US.
