This 3 page activity has the students investigate the relationship between the size of a basketball and the diameter of the rim of the basketball hoop. In addition, students will investigate air pressure inside a basketball and how that translates into force. Students will need formulas for area and circumference of a circle, as well as volume, and surface area of a sphere.

The first (and primary) exploration in this activity has students use a ruler (marked in cm) and a protractor to draw triangles that meet various given conditions. The intent is to help students arrive on their own the possibilities presented when given two sides and a non-included angle. It is hoped when students *cannot* form a triangle, or *can* form two triangles, that they will construct an understanding that goes deeper than what can be generated in a lecture-style format.
