Object: Using the angle measuring device, a tape measure, and the Tangent formula, your group will find the height of class room (Entire class as example), the 2 story school building, the flag pole, the one story school building, the telephone pole beside building and the antenna.
Tangent formula: Opposite = Tan R * Adjacent
To find height : Opposite = Tan R * Adjacent + X
Class example: Height of class room..
Information needed.
Angle R = ___________ Adjacent Side = _____________ Length of X in Feet = ____________
To figure height - Opposite = Tan R * Adjacent + X
Opposite = ___________ * ___________ + __________
Opposite = _________________
Find the height of the following using the same procedure as above.
Telephone Pole:
Angle R = ___________ Adjacent Side = _____________ Length of X in Feet = ____________
To figure height - Opposite = Tan R * Adjacent + X
Opposite = ___________ * ___________ + __________
Opposite = _________________
Two Story Building:
Angle R = ___________ Adjacent Side = _____________ Length of X in Feet = ____________
To figure height - Opposite = Tan R * Adjacent + X
Opposite = ___________ * ___________ + __________
Opposite = _________________
One Story Building:
Angle R = ___________ Adjacent Side = _____________ Length of X in Feet = ____________
To figure height - Opposite = Tan R * Adjacent + X
Opposite = ___________ * ___________ + __________
Opposite = _________________
Flag Pole:
Angle R = ___________ Adjacent Side = _____________ Length of X in Feet = ____________
To figure height - Opposite = Tan R * Adjacent + X
Opposite = ___________ * ___________ + __________
Opposite = _________________
Antenna:
Angle R = ___________ Adjacent Side = _____________ Length of X in Feet = ____________
To figure height - Opposite = Tan R * Adjacent + X
Opposite = ___________ * ___________ + __________
Opposite = _________________
