Question

AL-When the storm ends and the sea is calm, you're safe, because you observed all safetyprecautions, but you have no idea how far off course you are. However, you do know:• The height of a nearby landmark, which you remember from the tourist center you visitedyesterday• San Francisco: The Golden Gate Bridge is 220 feet tall-• The length of your thumb - it's about 2 inches long.That you can estimate lengths of less than a foot pretty accurately (to the nearest inch).1. First, you close one eye and hold your thumb up to block your view of the landmark. You moveyour thumb nearer and farther from your eye until it just covers the landmark.9Make a sketch showing overlapping triangles AEBT and AELH to illustrate this situation, where your eye is the base of your thumb is the tip of your thumb is T, the bottom of the landmark is L and the top of the landmark is H.

Answer 1

The Golden Gate Bridge is used for this exercise

The length of the thumb = 2 inches

The height of the Golden Gate Bridge = 220 ft

The eye is represented as E

The base of the thumb is represented as B

The tip of the thumb is represented as T

The bottom of the landmark is represented as L

The top of the landmark is represented as H

The diagram below shows the relationship between the Eye (E), the base of the thumb (B) and the tip of the thumb (T)

The diagram below shows the relationship between the eye (E), the bottom of the landmark (L), the top of the landmark (T)
