Using Triangulation

 

 

  1. Height of my eye from the ground: h1 = ________ m
     
  2. Pace off your distance to the flagpole: L = ________ m
     
  3. Measure the angle on the protractor: a = ________ degrees
     
  4. The angle from horizontal = 90o - a: A = ________ degrees
     
  5. Tangent of angle A: tan A = ________
     
  6. Distance from eye to top of flagpole = L * tan A: h2 = ________ m
     
  7. Total height of flagpole = h1 + h2: H = ________ m
