Trignometry introductory task 1

Activity 1
Solution:

Solution: Ask a person to to stand beside the flagpole, take a picture. Then measure the the height of the person and the flagpole in the picture and then you can find out the scale ratio by the the real height of the person and the height o the person int he image. Using that ratio you can find out the height of the flagpole.

Image (object) Image (pole) Real (object) Real (pole)
1.4cm 4.6cm 1.75m 5.75m
1.8cm 6.15cm 1.565m 5.35m
2.1cm 6.4cm 1.8m 5.48m

Secret Worlds: The Universe Within


View the Milky Way at 10 million light years from the Earth. Then move through space towards the Earth in successive orders of magnitude until you reach a tall oak tree just outside the buildings of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida. After that, begin to move from the actual size of a leaf into a microscopic world that reveals leaf cell walls, the cell nucleus, chromatin, DNA and finally, into the subatomic universe of electrons and protons.
