As a mini project our group went out into the front or school and found the height of objects based on two measurements that we took using a clinometer and a tape measure. Then we used trigonometry to calculate the height of the object we chose, a flagpole. We found the height of the flagpole by measuring the distance that our person was from the flagpole and the angle of elevation. Then we took those measurements and since it was a right triangle we knew that the tangent of 53° multiplied by 25 is equivalent to the height of the office and left. We also knew that our group number 6 feet tall so to get the height of the flagpole had to add 6 feet to the opposite height. We ended with a measurment of 39.17 feet.
