Lesson 8 Ladders and slides
Worksheet 3 Building ladders
Rebecca says: “We could measure the height of the cathedral tower without climbing up it.”
“Lie down with your eye near to the ground. Someone takes a stick 1 metre long and moves it towards the cathedral until you can see the top of the stick in line with the top of the tower.”
Which two distances do you measure now?
What calculations would you do to find the height of the tower?
