Geometry project: Twig-onometry
The Brief:
Watch Video of forestry service worker using a clinometer to indirectly measure the height of a tree
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zs_R7zYuaOk
Idea Development:
We have the ability to indirectly measure the height of tall objects outdoors using a clinometer app, tape measure, and trigonometric calculations
Test:
It is now time to use your digital clinometer app to find the angle of elevation from your eye to the top of your tall object
Object Measured: Tree
Estimated Height: 26 feet
Distance to Eye-Level:_16 feet_
Distance from base of Object to your feet: _16 feet
Angle shown on Clinometer: 63.4_
