Indirect Measurement Christian Matute, Kelsey Gombert, Nichole Rebarchick, Rocco Martoccio

2 Goals Measure the height of a tree with indirect measurement methods (3)

3 Tools Used Tape Measure Meter Stick Sunlight
Man Power (as well as Woman Power)

4 Length of tree’s shadow measured with tape measure and meter stick
Angle of the sun calculated using

5

6 Methods of Calculation

7 Method one Calculation involving measure of trees shadow in meters and tangent of the angle of the sun

8

9 Method Two Calculation involving cosine of third angle of triangle formed by tree and shadow, plus measure of length of shadow.

10

11 Third Method Calculation involving cosine of angle of the sun and length of tree’s shadow to calculate length of hypotenuse of triangle formed by tree and shadow, and then Pythagorean theorem to find height of tree
