Using a Main Sail, calculate the area and perimeter of the sail. Note if a jib sail is used, the right triangle is reversed with the forward edge becoming the leech which is the hypotenuse of the triangle.
Perimeter = luff + foot + leech Area of a Right Triangle = ½ (base x height) Area of a Right Triangle = ½ (foot x luff)
