John wants to measure the width of a stream using the methods he has learned in geometry. He puts a stake in the ground opposite
a big tree. The steps John would use to find the measure he wants are given below in random order. Put the number next to the following statements to indicate the proper sequence John would use to find the measure he wants.
The steps John would use to measure the width of the stream are given below in random order. Put the number next to the following statements to indicate the proper sequence John would use to find the measure he wants.
1. Step 1
5
John measures the distance between the two stakes.
2. Step 2
2
John uses a compass to walk away from the stake at a right angle.
3. Step 3
4
John multiplies the distance between the two stakes by 1.7 to find the distance.
4. Step 4
3
John drives a second stake in the ground.
5. Step 5
1
On the path John walks until he finds a line of sight to the tree that equals 60 degrees.
6. Step 6
6
John drives a stake opposite the tree to establish a line between two points.
