experience2. Use the Scientific Method3. Empirical / Objective

Engineering:1. Application of math and science by which matter and

energy are made useful to people2. Designing and implementing solutions that fulfill an

objective, need, or desire – based on knowledge3. Subjective solutions based on objective knowledge

DRILL B: During the day, a 25 foot tall telephone pole casts a 10 foot shadow on the ground. At that same time and not far away, a tree casts a 25 foot shadow. How tall is the tree?

DRILL A: A radio antenna tower stands 200 meters tall. A supporting cable attached to the top of the tower stretches to the ground and makes a 30o angle with the tower. How far is it from the base of the tower to the cable on the ground? How long must the cable be?

DRILL A: RADIO TOWER – SOLUTION

A radio antenna tower stands 200 meters tall. A supporting cable attached to the top of the tower stretches to the ground and makes a 30o angle with the tower. How far is it from the base of the tower to the cable on the ground? How long must the cable be?

r

tan 30o = x / 200m

x = (200m)tan 30o

x = (200m) * ( / 3)

x = 115.5m

cos 30o = 200m / r

r*cos 30o = 200m

r = 200m / cos 30o

r = 231m

DRILL B: SHADOWS – SOLUTION

During the day, a 25 foot tall telephone pole casts a 10 foot shadow on the ground. At that same time, a tree casts a 25 foot shadow. How tall is the tree?

This problem can be solved by setting up a ratio.

(POLE) Height / Shadow = (TREE) Height / Shadow

25 ft / 10 ft = y / 25 ft

2.5 = y / 25 ft

62.5 ft = y

Systems of EquationsSystems of Equations

• Because two equations impose two conditions on the variables at the same time, they are called a system of simultaneous equations.

• When you are solving a system of equations, you are looking for the values that are solutions for all of the system’s equations.
