Name Class: Goal « Use similar triangles to determine distances Activity 1 ‘A group of students went to a park to measure the distance between them and random objects. They picked an object far away, set up a baseline, and measured the angle to their ‘object at each end of the baseline (see diagram). Their results are shown here. ‘Group | Baseline length | angle | angle D c 737 85} 70" object position 2 position 11. (a) In the space below, use a PROTRACTOR and ACCURATELY draw the diagram by using the baseline and the angles that have been obtained from croup x (b). Show your workings related tothe scaling of the baseline above ((atio of actual distance : paper - based distance) Ratio= actual distance = 12m Paper-based distance (c} Measure the length of e. This can be achieved by ensuring that an angle of 8° is present between the baseline and(@), Use your knowledge of similar triangles to calculate the actual value of! 2. (a) In the space below, use a PROTRACTOR and ACCURATELY draw the diagram by using the baseline and the angles that have been obtained from group Y.
