Also when you use shadows that make triangles to find the height of an object. You can use that find the height of actual objects and they can also be used to stabilize a bridge. ]]> 2019-04-25 01:22:24 UTC https://padlet.com/navamani_v_nagamuthu1/hnlg0l4i7opq/wish/353960949 https://padlet.com/navamani_v_nagamuthu1/hnlg0l4i7opq/wish/353961958 Applying Similar Triangles to the Real World.

Example: if you are beside a building and the building casts a shadow of 35ft. Your shadow is 8ft long and your height is 5ft. You can set a proportion to figure out the building's height.]]> 2019-04-25 01:34:21 UTC https://padlet.com/navamani_v_nagamuthu1/hnlg0l4i7opq/wish/353962807 https://padlet.com/navamani_v_nagamuthu1/hnlg0l4i7opq/wish/353962971 This numerous applications are majorly in the fields of engineering, architecture and construction and can be stated as:

• In the vast area of architecture, similar triangles play an important role to represent the doors in the structure designed and how far they swing open.
• Analysing the shadows that make triangles we can determine the actual height of the object.
• Generally used to analyse the stability of bridges. Stability is an important factor when something is build.
• Sometimes used in aerial photography to determine the distances from sky to a particular point on ground.
• Useful in measurement of room and scale size in construction.
• Generally used in determining the distances between light and the target in the light beams.
• You can determine the height of any building, objects, people and length of people too with the use of scale modelling based on similar triangles.

In the vast area of architecture, similar triangles play an important role to represent the doors in the structure designed and how far they swing open.

Analysing the shadows that make triangles we can determine the actual height of the object.

Generally used to analyse the stability of bridges. Stability is an important factor when something is build.

Sometimes used in aerial photography to determine the distances from sky to a particular point on ground.

Useful in measurement of room and scale size in construction.

Generally used in determining the distances between light and the target in the light beams.

You can determine the height of any building, objects, people and length of people too with the use of scale modelling based on similar triangles.

For some cases in the real life projects they are used to hold the ground when an earthquake arises.

In construction to build the A - frame houses as the frame helps to reflect the similarity due to similar triangles when the bar of the frame is placed parallel to the ground.

Architect may sometimes use concept of similar triangles to aid in design of their work.
