This paper describes an experiment to determine the height of the Flagpole in front of Waterloo Collegiate Institute, a high school in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. During the experiment, we approach the task with similar triangles and their properties. Being that, we created two similar right triangles with the flagpole as one of the legs of one triangle and my partner as one of the legs of the other. Due to the fact that similar triangles are proportional in terms of side lengths, we measure the…
