By statistical analysis.

It is very difficult to calculate these using mechanics. Calculations of the trajectory of a projectile assume that the mass of the projectile is such that air resistance has a negligible effect. This is not the case when the projectile is confetti - even if it is packed densely to start with.

Solid figures that have length width and height?

All solid figures have length, width and height and, conversely, if a figure has length, width and height then it is a solid figure.

How do you figure out slope of a grade in percent?

Determine the height difference (a) between the start and end of the slope by subtracting the starting height from the final height (if it is a downhill slope the difference will be a negative number).Determine the horizontal distance (b) between the starting point and the final point. If you only know the actual linear distance (c) along the slope, you can figure the horizontal distance using the Pythagorean Theorem: a2+b2=c2. For example, if the linear distance (c) along the slope from start to finish is 1000 feet, and the height difference (a) is 75 feet, then using the theorem you would have 752+b2=10002 or 5625+b2=1000000. Your horizontal distance (b) would therefore be b2=994375 or b=997.2 feetDivide the height difference (a) by the horizontal distance (b) and multiply by 100. This gives you the grade of the slope in percent. In the example it would be 75 ÷ 997.2 × 100 = 7.5% grade


What is the formula for working out the height of a tree?

Formula for working out height of a tree is (distance from eye to base of tree/distance from eye to base of stick) x length of stick = tree height.(distance from eye to base of tree/distance from eye to base of stick) x length of stick = tree height is the formula for working out height of a tree.

How trigonometry is related to to daily activities?

I learned on Khan Academy that for instance 1/2base X height gives you the total displacement or Distance in a vector quantity in comparison to how fast you accelerate and the distance covered. Slope in essence is acceleration. Now for trigonometry, it is figuring out angles, and angles are important in regards to many functions. Lets talk about a cannon's projectile. For instance, i want to figure out a projectiles velocity and displacement from lets say, a 30 degree incline from the flat surface that it is on. If we have the velocity of the the projectile and angle of 30 degrees, we can figure out the distance from where that projectile was launched from, or vice versa.

How tall do you draw people?

The standard proportions when drawing the adult human figure is seven (7) heads high. The height of the head from chin to crown is one seventh of the height of a normal adult human. This is a generalization, but works well as a baseline. Just for a bit more proportional information, the distance from tip of longest finger to the tip of the longest finger of the other hand (when stretched out horizontally at shoulder height is the same as the height of the figure (7 heads). When drawing children the proportions are much different. Also remember, it is the setting you put your figures into that determine the perceived height of the figure. If you place your figure next to a tree and they are near the same height, you person appears very tall... If you place your figure next to a tulip and they are near the same height, the figure appears very small.

How do you figure out the slope of grade in percent?

1. Determine the height difference (a) between the start and end of the slope by subtracting the starting height from the final height (if it is a downhill slope the difference will be a negative number) 2. Determine the horizontal distance (b) between the starting point and the final point. If you only know the actual linear distance (c) along the slope, you can figure the horizontal distance using the Pythagorean Theorem: a2+b2=c2. For example, if the linear distance (c) along the slope from start to finish is 1000 feet, and the height difference (a) is 75 feet, then using the theorem you would have 752+b2=10002or 5625+b2=1000000. Your horizontal distance (b) would therefore be b2=994375 or b=997.2 feet 3. Divide the height difference (a) by the horizontal distance (b) and multiply by 100. This gives you the grade of the slope in percent. In the example it would be 75 ÷ 997.2 × 100 = 7.5% grade
