30 degree triangle30,60, 90 triangle hyp.= 2*Short leg Long leg= short leg*sq. root of 3My height=5.42ftDistance to pole= 38 feet

Height of triangle= 38/ square root of 3= 38 square Root of 3 over 3.Height of pole= 114+38 sq. root of 3 over 3.

38

Trigonometry: tan of 30= x/38Tan (30) 38= 21.94Height of triangle= 21.94Height of pole= 5.42 +21.94Height of pole= 27.36

Special right triangleLong leg= 14 (square root of 3) therefore…The height of the pole is 14 square roots of 3

In Conclusion…

• Average height of the pole:27.36+ 29.33+ 24.25+29.83=110.77/4= 27.69• During this process we used the clinometers

to measure our angle measures to the pole, then calculated our distance in feet. After that we applied special right triangle math and trigonometry to determine the height of the pole.
