Solution:D

Hello!Even though the question on the wall is not entirely triangulation related, you need to understand the basic concepts of trigonometrical properties before you can actually carry out triangulation. So here is the working!

tan 71= x/100
x=295

See?Simple right!Taking the wall to be x, we take tangent(which is opposite over adjacent), and by estimation, we estimated the angle to be 71 degrees, hence tan 71, which will give us the answer x.

Thank you!:D

Wall length

HEY THERE!

Here's the wall picture that you might need to refer to. We took the base(length on the floor) as 100cm, the height of the wall is unknown, and so is the hypotenuse. If the angle between the hypo and the base is 71, what is the height? This is very much basic trigo properties, so it should be simple for you! This concept of trigonometry is how triangulation is used too:D

Thank you!

Theodolite!

Hello everyone!!


We're back again, but here with some information on something called a THEODOLITE!

Have you any idea what that is? Just a brief summary: A theodolite is an instrument for accurately measuring the horizontal and vertical angles, as used in triangulation networks. Well then, do you know how it looks like? This is how it looks like! 

We'll be carrying out measurements on another area in our school, the classroom wall!But unfortunately, we do not have the spending capacity to buy this instrument, so we will be estimating the height of the classroom through certain techniques. We'll be posting the wall picture and dimensions soon, so do take a look!


Thanks,

Formula for the tables!:D

Hello!

Here is the triangulation formula used in a table in TJC's campus, and the solution to the answer you've been pondering upon for the past few days!Sorry it took long!!We'll be uploading another question soon,do keep a look out!

d= 29(sin60.557)(sin60.577) / sin(60.577+60.557)

  =21.99 / 0.856

  =25.68

  =25.7 (to 3 s.f.) 

Thanks!

TJC Tables!(:

Hello there!!:D

We're back here again, this time with pictures for you.
These are pictures of the TJC table, and as you can see, there are triangles underneath the table. These triangles improve stability of the tables, and through our concept of triangulation, the points where the wooden pieces and lengths of the wooden pieces can be figured out.

Can you do it?

We'll be back with the answers soon:)
Stay tuned!

Video!!

HELLO THERE!!

We have found a video on triangulation that might help you to understand the concept better.
Enjoy!!

Triangulation!!

Hey there people!

Today we will be giving you a brief introduction on our topic that we have chosen, TRIANGULATION.

Triangulation basically makes use of trigonometry and geometry, and is the process to determine the location of a point e.g X, by measuring angles from the 2 known points leading to X, from the bottom straight line on which the 2 known points lie on.

That's it for now, stay tuned for more information on TRIANGULATION!!
