Trigonometry story question?
By
Question: So for an assignment we have to use trigonometry to find a side. Like if they give a right triangel with an angle and a hypotenuse you would use sin or cos to find the height of the triangle.
The thing is we need to make a story that goes with it
So i thought it would be fun if you guys could think of stories i can use and if they are good enough i’ll use the best story
Some ideas you could use if you wanted to are James Bond spiderman, etc
I don’t care about the actual math work, i can do that my self
just try making a story to find the length of a right triangle using sin cos tan.
An example would be… Some bad guys are on top of a tower.
James bond is has to look about 25 degress above eye level. James bond is 1.6 meters the distance is like 133m James bond needs to find the height of the tower to shoot is grapling hook or something
I will give my best answer to whoever is the most creative and has a lot of humour in their story
I think that’s all the info i need to give
GOOD LUCK 
!!!!

Do people of your age play rescue-the-princess video games any more?
If so, there are some great possibilities there.
If you’re going to shoot a weapon, make it a laser/ray/beam gun. Otherwise the trajectory is curved.
You can use a ladder to rescue Santa who’s stuck on the roof.
