This activity allows students to go outdoors to measure the height of objects indirectly. Similar right triangles are formed when mirrors are placed on the ground between the object that needs to be measured and the student observing the object in the mirror. Students work in teams to measure distances and solve proportions.
This activity is meant to be a review activity after similar triangles have already been taught, and can be used as a summative assessment.
