Lesson Objectives:• To be able to apply trigonometry in real life
How can we work out the height?
?
Can we use trigonometry?
6m40o
?H
A
O O T A
O = Tan angle x A = Tan 40 x 6 = 5.03m
How can we measure the angle?
Make your clinometer
How can we measure the length?
Tape measure ?Trundle Wheel?
What data will you be recording?
Design a data collection table to use next lesson
You need to calculate the height of:
• The Gym• The Hall• The Maths block• The Canteen• The Science block• The height of the alarm on the main building
Answers!
Discussion Points
• How close were the estimations you made?• How reliable do you think your final answers
are?
