- Sir! I think I see an enemy ship ahead!
- Can you tell how far away it is? I'll have to report it back to the base.
- Cell #6
- Cell #3
- Hmm. I can't tell measure how far away it is. Aha! I can solve for it using trigonometry!
- Ok. I know that I'm standing on a 20 meter watch tower. I'm looking down on that ship from an around 30 degree angle. That means My line of sight makes a 60 degree angle with the watch tower.
- With those values, I can say that tan60 = x/20 where x is how far away the enemy ship is. That means x = 20(tan60). I've got it! The ship is around 35 meters away!
- Sir! The enemy is 35 meters away from base. Sound the alarm we have to prepare for contact!
- Good work son! You may have just saved us all.
- Thanks to you we were able to stop the enemy attack.
- Don't thank me sir, thank Math!
