PreCalculus Honors Name:

Law of Sines “Mapquest”

In this activity, we will use the Law of Sines to measure various distances around LSU’s campus. The one
thing we know is that the football field is 100 yards long (what is that in feet?). For each new point, you
need to draw a picture of the triangle on this sheet, fully labeled, and show all of your work. You can find
angles using a protractor, but you may NOT use a ruler to find distance! You may use previous questions
to answer later questions. You should use the unit “feet” for the entire activity!

1. Find the distance from the top right corner of the football field to the bottom left corner of the
LSU Library.

2. Find the distance from the LSU Library to the top left corner of the LSU Department of Geology
and Geophysics.

3. Find the distance from the LSU Department of Geology and Geophysics to the intersection of
Highland Road and Dalrymple Drive.
