间接测量
Section outline

Franz has been given the honor of hoisting the flag at his school. He stands next to the flagpole while he hooks the flag. His classmates notice two shadows. Franz is 4 feet tall and his shadow ends at the bench that is 6 feet away from him. The flagpole is 25 feet tall, but the students don't have a direct way to measure the distance of its shadow. Franz's teacher suggests that the students use indirect measurement to calculate the length of the flagpole's shadow.
::弗朗茨被授予在他的学校升旗的荣誉。 他站在旗杆旁边,同时勾着旗子。 他的同学们注意到了两个阴影。 弗朗茨四英尺高,他的影子在离他六英尺的长凳上结束。 旗杆25英尺高, 但学生们没有直接测量其影子距离的方法。 弗朗茨的老师建议学生们用间接测量法来计算旗杆阴影的长度。

::4 = 25 = 6 =xHow can the students determine the length of the flagpole's shadow?
::学生如何决定旗杆阴影的长度?In this concept, you will learn how to make an indirect measurement.
::在这个概念中,你会学会如何进行间接计量。Indirect Measurement
::间接计量You can use the properties of similar figures to measure things that are challenging to measure directly. This type of measurement is called indirect measurement.
::您可以使用类似数字的属性来测量难以直接测量的东西。这类测量称为间接测量。Let's look at an example.
::让我们举个例子。Jamie’s Dad is six feet tall. Standing outside, his shadow is eight feet long. A tree is next to him. The tree has a shadow that is sixteen feet long. Given these dimensions , how tall is the tree?
::杰米的爸爸有6英尺高。 站在外边,他的影子有8英尺长。 一棵树在他旁边。 树上有16英尺长的阴影。 鉴于这些尺寸,树有多高?Here is a diagram to help you.
::这是一张帮助你的图表。You can see from the picture that the tree itself is one side of the triangle , that the shadow length is another side of the triangle and that the diagonal from the top of the tree to the top of the shadow forms the hypotenuse (the longest side) of the triangle.
::从图中可以看出,树本身是三角形的一面,阴影线是三角形的另一面,从树顶到阴影顶的对角形成三角形的下限(最长的一面)。Let's compare it to the shadow of a person.
::让我们把它比作一个人的影子。There is a triangle here, too.
::这里还有一个三角形Now let's combine this information.
::现在让我们把这些信息结合起来。Jamie’s dad is six feet tall. Standing outside, his shadow is eight feet long. A tree is next to him. The tree has a shadow that is sixteen feet long. Given these dimensions, how tall is the tree?
::杰米的爸爸高6英尺。 站在外面,他的影子长8英尺。 一棵树在他旁边。 树的阴影长16英尺。 鉴于这些尺寸,树有多高?To solve this, you have to create two ratios. One will compare the heights of the man and the tree and the other will compare the lengths of the shadows. Together, they will form a proportion because similar triangles are proportional and you have already seen how triangles are created with people or things and shadows.
::要解决这个问题, 您必须创建两个比例。 一个将比较人的高度和树的高度, 另一个将比较阴影的长度。 它们将形成一个比例, 因为相似的三角形是比例的, 您已经看到三角形是如何与人或事物和阴影一起创建的 。Now, fill in the given information.
::现在填入给定的信息 。You are looking for the height of the tree, so that is where the variable goes.
::您正在寻找树的高度, 所以这就是变量去的地方 。Now identify the relationship between the numerical values in the numerator and the denominator.
::现在确定分子和分母中数值之间的关系。The denominator is twice the numerator.
::分母是分子的两倍。Write and solve an equation to calculate the value of .
::写入并解析一个公式以计算 x 的值。
::x = 6 × 2 = 12The answer is 12 feet. The tree is 12 feet tall.
::答案是12英尺 树高12英尺Examples

::之前,你被问及弗朗茨和旗杆的问题Franz is 4 feet tall and his shadow ends at the bench that is 6 feet away from him. Franz's teacher suggests that the students use indirect measurement to calculate the length of the flagpole's shadow.
::弗朗茨四英尺高,他的影子在离他六英尺远的长椅上结束。 弗朗茨的老师建议学生用间接测量法来计算旗杆的影子长度。
