Trippy Trig Trip

Introduction

This is designed for 9th and 10th grade geometry students. They will be finding the heights of different landmarks, and the angle of elevation, along with the distance between the land mark and themselves using basic trig ratios (sine, cosine, and tangent). With this they can utilize basic trig ratios in real world situations that they may never actually experience. 

Task

WHO'S READY TO TRAVEL?

Choose five landmarks around the world for your dream math get away.

In your present situation you are only permitted to come within 25 meters of the base of that particular landmark. 

Create postcards that explicitly express each landmark, the angle of elevation you would have to use to look at the top of the object, and the distance from ur eyes to the top of the object.

Now buckle your seatbelt and get ready for take off! Safe travels!
