Angles

In mathematics, angles constitute a very important part. Just like the concept of lines, an angle is a necessary figure that is used for measurement. How do you define its formation? It is formed when two or more lines meet at a point. The point at which two or more lines meet is known as the vertex. When the lines get inclined at this point, they do form various angles. Angles are measured from the vertex in terms of degrees.

Determining the Height of an Object and Unit Conversions
In this lab we are going to indirectly measure the height of some objects and work on unit
conversions as well, See the "Unit Conversion for Distances" file in Canvas for reference.
By measuring the "distance away"=d and the "angle made"- A, you can compute the height = h
of an object using trigonometric relations and the height of the observer = g.
How to make the measurements:
B
Trigonometric relations:
cos(A) = d/z
sin(A) = f/z
tan(A) = f/d = 1/x
If
A
lg
An object a distance, d, away
having a full height, h. f is the
height relative to eye level and g
is the eye level height of the
observer.
A stick with a length, I, held a
distance, x, away from eye
level. The bottom of the stick is
held at eye level and the top of
the stick overlaps with the top
Since l/x = f/d due to the
similar triangles formed, the
angle, A, can easily be
determined as well as the
height of the object, f, relative
to eye level, g. The full height
of the object is then, h = f +g
of the
regarding
observer's line of sight.
