From Jon, a secondary school student: What would the equation be to determine the height of an object if you cannot aproach the base of the object to use simple triangulation (taking 2 angle measurments and measuring the distance in between the two measured places, excluding eye height)? Or, more simply: How do you figure out the length of all sides of a scalene triangle if given the measure of all angles and one side? |

Hi Jon. The Law of Sines will help you out. If you know four of the six lengths and angles of a triangle, you can calculate the other two:
Hope this helps! |
