ceoneny AVE UTS'H Trigonometry Aol. (pt 1) Name: Luo Mayle You will be asked to problem solve through several real-life trigonometry situations, in what I would like to call a “trigonometry scavenger hunt’. You may work with your group to do any outside measurements that need to take place (i.e. measuring how far something is, setting up the required situation). You may not solve any trigonometric situations with your group. That includes drawing a diagram of the situation as well. You will be given several tools to complete this mission. They include: Greenhouse Poles (8 feet = 96 inches each), Measuring Tape, Clinometer, Giant Protractor 1. Pick two tools from the box above to find the height of the upstairs building using a trigonometric ratio. Measure outside Mr. Johnson's classroom. A. Record your measurements below. List which tools you used and why you used them. Draw a diagram of how you found these measurements individually. vy & n YeaQc oe6 Qo tre ror Thins 4 Wa? 4 wy’ B.
