Prep Questions: While someone is standing away from a water tower and holding up a 00 meters 2 ruler in front of them, if the tower is only tall, that means the water tower .5 meter 0 .05 meters 0 is really tall. Secondly, Joe holds a stick upright while standing a certain 0 meters 1 eter 2 − m distance away from Kathy. After she finds a displacement, it can be determined that she and 18 ° Joe are standing 6.16 meters apart using the equation . Finally, knowing that djacent A = Tan (θ) Opposite the distance from Earth to the Moon is and that that the diameter of the 84, 00, 00 meters 3 4 0 Moon is , the displacement of the moon in the sky was found to be . , 74, 00 meters 3 4 2 .52 0 ° Methodology: To find the height of the object that was chosen for this experiment, a table, a set distance from the table was first determined. After setting a distance from the table, a protractor was used to find the angle from the displacement from the bottom of the object to the top from the distance away. The protractor was used by putting it in front of the user’s face and moving the protractor’s arm until it aligned with the top of the object. Finally, after finding the angle displacement, the height of the object was then found using the equations given below. Data Analysis: After taking the necessary measurements, the set distance, , and the angle .52 meters 1 displacement, , were used to find the height of the object. The equation 30 °
