1. Measure the length of the wooden pole using the surveyor’s tape measure provided. 2. Record the length of the pole in the writing pad provided. 3. Let one member of your group hold the pole upright ensuring that the flat surface is properly aligned to the ground. 4. Measure the length of the shadow formed by the pole using the tape measure. 5. Record the length of this shadow in the writing pad provided. 6. Record the time at the moment you are measuring the length of the shadow. 7. The sketch below represents a right triangle to depict the position of the pole and the shadow. It will guide you in calculating the angle of elevation of the sun, . 8. Using as the reference angle, which side of the right triangle is represented by the length of the wooden pole?
