Altitude Tracker Worksheet Procedure Use a sharp pencil and a protractor to draw two angles 3 centimeters apart. Label the two angles. Find the point of intersection of the two rays of the angle. Draw a perpendicular line to the baseline from this intersection point to the extended baseline of the angles. Measure this distance in centimeters. Convert this number to meters using a scale of 1 centimeter = 10 meters. Add in an eye level height of 1.2 meters. See the example shown below. Example: ∠1 = 50°, ∠2 = 35° 5.2 cm x 10 m = 52.0 m + 1.2 m 53.2 m 5.2 cm 50° 35° 3.0 cm Determine the height of an object using the above procedure. Assume that the angles were measured using the altitude tracker. 1. ∠1 = 60°, ∠2 = 45° 2. ∠1 = 45°, ∠2 = 20° 32 Amusement Park Physics With a NASA Twist EG–2003–03–010–GRC
3. ∠1 = 54°, ∠2 = 30° 4. ∠1 = 80°, ∠2 = 55° 5. ∠1 = 76°, ∠2 = 58° 33 Amusement Park Physics With a NASA Twist EG–2003–03–010–GRC
