ACE 5.1: Using shadows to find heights

The sun cooperated today and we left the classroom to explore the campus and measure tall structures indirectly, applying our knowledge of similar triangles to a real life situation. We also had some practice measuring lengths to solve problems in Problem 5.1. The handout packet can be downloaded here, and the classnotes can be downloaded here.

For homework, please choose one of the options below from the handout, which can be downloaded here.

Option 1
Problems 1-2, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16

Option 2
Problems 1-2, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17

Due tomorrow, Thursday, December 10. Don't forget that Part 1 of the Holiday Madness project, the credit card, is also due tomorrow.
