Today in math 10 we calculated the height of the flagpole in the front of our school.

I started my taking the heigh (from foot to eyes) of my partner Hayley.  Then we had to figure out the distance between Hayley and the flagpole, which was 6m. The last step we did was to figure out the angle at which Hayley was looking up using a clinometer, it was 54 degrees. When we got inside we used the trig ratio (tan) to figure out the final height of the flag pole, which was 8.2m.
