Question

a. A landscape artist has drawn the outline of a house. Describe three different ways to make sure the corners of the house are right angles.

Answer 1

Answer:

1. 3-4-5 method

2. Rope method

3. Optical square method

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You'll need a measuring tape, two range poles, pegs, and three people.

The first person holds the zero mark between their thumbs and fingers, the second person holds the 3m mark on the tape between their thumbs and fingers, and the third person holds the 8m. When all sides of the rope are stretched, a triangle is created, and an angle near one is a right angle.

2. Wrap one loop of the rope around peg A with a peg through the other loop, draw a circle on the ground, place pegs B and C where the circle crosses the base line, and place peg D half way between pegs B and C, allowing pegs D and A to form lines perpendicular to the base line, forming a right angle.

3. Single and double prismatic squares are basic devices used to measure correct angles.
