4

• The height of an object can be measured using
  trigonometry.
• H x tan? h
• H is the height of the object
• x is the distance from the base of the object to
  a fixed point
• ? is the angle of elevation from the fixed point
  to the top of the object
• h is the height of the platform

5

• H0 ?360 (null hypothesis)
• The null hypothesis is assumed true until
  sufficient evidence is obtained to warrant its
  rejection.
• Ha ??360 (alternative hypothesis)
• The alternative hypothesis is accepted as true if
  we can disprove the null hypothesis.

6

• To get the most accurate measurement of the
  height of Brownlee Hall

7

• Tape Measure
• Angle Measurer (protractor)
• Orange Cone
• Calculator

8

• We measured the distance from the object in
  inches .
• We measured the angle of elevation in degrees.
• We measured the height of the platform in inches.

9

• We calculated the tangent of the angle of
  elevation.
• We then multiplied the distance from the object
  by the calculated tangent of the angle of
  elevation.
• The height of the platform was then added to the
  product of the distance from the object and the
  calculated tangent of the angle of elevation.

• Because the p value was so low our null
  hypothesis is rejected.
• The data we collected for the height of the
  building was not accurate.
• Therefore, the alternative hypothesis is accepted.

12

• However, in doing this research we did learn how
  to form and test a null and alternative
  hypothesis and to make a conclusion from the data
  collected.
• The height of an object is equal to the distance
  from the object multiplied by the tangent of the
  angle of elevation this product is added to the
  height of the platform for the final answer.
