@iPwnBunnies

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

I have to use a clinometer to measure the height of three things. Like a tree or pole...

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

There is a table and I have to fill out the following sections for three objects: Object Being Measured: Measured Distance Away (from object): Eye Height: Calculations:

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

I just need to know the calculations?

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

I don't know what a clinometer is. But it sounds like this is Pythagorean Theorem stuff.

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

Yeah it is trigonometry.

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

.-. Then I guess use the Pythagorean Theorem. Idk what you're given or anything.

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):
