Trigonometry for real! Lesson Objectives: To be able to apply trigonometry in real life
Can we use trigonometry? O = Tan angle x A = Tan 40 x 6 = 5.03m ? H O T A O 40o 6m A
How can we measure the angle? Make your clinometer
How can we measure the length? Tape measure ? Trundle Wheel?
What data will you be recording?Design a data collection table to use next lessonYou need to calculate the height of: • The Gym • The Hall • The Maths block • The Canteen • The Science block • The height of the alarm on the main building
Discussion Points • How close were the estimations you made? • How reliable do you think your final answers are?
