We had to do a series of tasks that required us to indirectly find the height of an object using similarity and trigonometry. For similarity there were two methods a person could've used, the shadow method and the mirror method. The shadow method is when you take the length of your shadow and the height of you, and then measure the length of the shadow and create a similarity ratio. For the mirror method it's the same concept except you use the similarity ratio of the height of you over the distance between you and your feet and the height of the object over the distance of the mirror and the base of the object. For trigonometry we had to use a device to help us find the measure of the angle at which we look at the object, then create a tangent ratio that is, the tan of angle X is equal to the height of the object divided by the distance between your feet and the base of the object. The we had to write up a reflection and conclusions of the data we found.
