Indirect Measurement
Classwork:
- We checked Friday’s homework assignment
- We went through the problems you had questions about from the homework and whatever questions you had about the quiz
- You took the “Similar Figures and Corresponding Parts” quiz
- With the remaining time you worked on your Indirect Measurement workbook page. Indirect measurement is used to measure the heights of objects which aren’t easily measured like flagpoles, trees, buildings, etc. We can measure the lengths of the shadow of such an object and use another object of which we know the height and shadow length to set up a proportion. Remember height is compared to height and shadow is compared to shadow.
Homework:
- Thick workbook page 222
- Quiz Friday – Indirect Measurement & Scale Drawings
- Unit 6B Test – Wednesday, Feb. 17; it will address similar figures, corresponding parts of similar figures, indirect measurement, and scale drawings.
