- Hmm.. I wonder how tall that tree is....
- I'll USE TRIGONOMETRY!
- Lucky I have my handy clinometer on me!
- 540 CM
- First, I'll measure the distance between myself and the tree...
- Now using my clinometer, I'll look through the straw at the point where I can see the top of the tree
- It seems like the angle of elevation is 35 degrees
- OPPOSITE
- 540 cm (ADJACENT)
- HYPOTENUSE
-
- eye height (165 CM)
- 35
- Time for trigonometry!
- tan= 0/A tan35= 0/540 0= tan35 x 540 0 + eye height = 378.1 + 165 = 543.1cm
- I think that the appropriate symbol to use would be tan
- Yay! One tree done, a forest to go!
