Tasks


You are playing the role of the archaeologist who will locate the path to and location of the Sir Cadillac's Treasure based on the directions that the history scholars (the Physics Students) have translated and provided you.  As the archaeologists your responsibility is to:

  • Participate in a lesson given by the history scholars regarding the Pythagorean Theorem of which you will need to use in order to solve this problem.
  • Acquire the directions of each stage of Sir Cadillac's path, of which the history scholars (Physics Students) have translated for you, that you will need to follow in order to find the location of the treasure.
  • Communicate with your history scholar (Physics Students) to ask questions regarding their directions and provide updates to them on your status.
  • Determine the coordinates of the six waypoints of Sir Cadillac's path to his treasure, as well as, the coordinates of the location of his treasure. Calculate the distance of each of the six stages of the path and the total distance to the treasure using the Pythagorean Theorem.
  • Overlay on a map of the city, the path and its waypoints that you determined based on the directions from the history scholars (Physics Students).
