The base length of both triangles. The base using the shadow method would be the shadow. The base using the mirror method would be from the object to the center of the mirror.

Two traingles that have the same base always have the same area?

No, because if they have different heights the area will differ between the two triangles.


What is the system of mathematics used for surveying an indirect measurements?

Trigonometry is the branch of mathematics commonly used in surveying for indirect measurements, such as determining distances or heights of objects that are not directly accessible. Trigonometric functions like sine, cosine, and tangent are used to calculate angles and distances based on known measurements and relationships between sides and angles of triangles. This allows surveyors to accurately determine measurements without physically measuring every point.


What do you use trigonometry for in day to day life?

you can use it to find heights of trees or buildings and stuff. It is good for distances too.
