A2-32: HEIGHT MEASUREMENT BY TRIGONOMETRY
Additional Info
- ID Code: A2-32
- Purpose: Determine the height of a student using trigonometry
- Description: Determine the height h of a student by measuring the distance x of the student from the protractor and the angle a of the top of the student from the floor: h = x tan a. Compare the experimental value with a direct measurement using the two-meter stick.
- Availability: Available
