Group 3-Finding the Height when the Distance between the Object & the Observer is Known.


"In TEAMWORK, Together Everyone Achieves More where Network Collaborate to Support Work. "




 As part of the project based learning, the theme allotted to us was trigonometry which is really an interesting topic. Our group was given the task of measuring the height of a tree where we were not provided with any data. First of all we decided to prepare a clinometer, for measuring the angle of elevation. 


We explored the online resources and found these videos



Heights and Distances


Our idea was simple.  One of us would first stand at a considerable distance from the foot of the tree, and then we would measure the angle of elevation. We would do the same by standing at a distance of 10 m from the first point, using the trigonometric ratios the height of the tree could be easily calculated.

Our group had prepared a report which was a step by step guide of all our teamwork. We had also prepared 2 charts, one which was completely based on our activity and the other some extra facts. The later included the history, etymology and applications of trigonometry. Based on the information we could gather we prepared a brief but informative slide show.

Our final but the major task was to prepare a nutshell of our study and to present a seminar on our theme, which unlike our predictions turned out to be really interesting and informative. Project based learning gave us a wonderful chance to explore something beyond the four walls of our classroom.
