Group 4- Measuring the Height of a building the Height of the Person Only is Known.


"Teamwork is the Secret that makes Common People Achieve Uncommon Results."




The work done by us for project based learning provided us more insights into the understanding of the concept of trigonometry and its applications in everyday life. It was more realistic than we usually understands in our class. We could understand this concept more than anyone else as we were actually learning by performing activities.


We were given the activity of finding the height of a building by using the angle of elevation of the top of the building

Before we start...


We surfed the internet and found these videos useful.

 with the help of Usha ma'am.


Two different observations were made by two persons in standing and kneeling down. Using the tan value of the angle of elevation we got the height of the building excluding the height of the persons.

building using a Clinometer. 



To keep a record of our findings, a report was prepared by our crew on all the experimental details and our observations and a presentation was also done to explain the same to our classmates.

At the end we could appreciate the importance of trigonometry in daily life and its applications ranging from warfare to astronomy.
