Clearly that's meant for you to think about. What ideas do you have?

Have you seen any "real life" examples in your class, that you could relate to real real-life situations? Do you see any triangles as you look around you that might suggest questions you could ask? (Some questions would go beyond the topic into trigonometry and other methods, but even those often start with more basic ideas.)
