TRIGNOMENTRY COMIC STRIPS
Storyboard Text
- How tall do you think this light pole is?
- X
- I’m not sure, but we can use trigonometry to find out.
- How are we going to do that?
- First, imagine there’s a triangle here.
- It looks like there’s a 40° angle of elevation and the distance to the pole is 7 feet.
- 40°
- 7 feet
- X
- We know this is a right triangle, and now we need find the height.
- We need to use SOHCAHTOA to figure out the height. We know the adjacent side and the angle.
- 40°
- 7 feet
- X
- That means we will use tangent and the formula will be tan40=x/7
- The height of this light pole is 5.9 feet.
- 40°
- 7 feet
- 5.9 feet
- THE END.
