32、here is a very simple way of measuring the height of a chimney, which we cant measure by climbing it.

33、e a distance of 90 feet from it in a straight line, marking the spot that is 90 feet from the chimney. Then we take a stick CD, and stand it in the ground at the spot we have just marked. Let us suppose that the stick we are using is 4 feet in height. We now walk rather away from the chimney in the

34、same straight line as when we measured off the distance of 90 feet. we go from the chimney until we come to a point, where, with our head on the ground , we see the top of the stick just covers the highest part of the chimney. We now have two triangles(三角形), as shown in the picture, and the proporti

35、on (比例)of the side CD to the side CE, in the small CDE, is exactly the same as the triangle proportion of the side BA to the side BE, in the larger BAE It is clear from this that every student can work out the height of the chimney. Suppose that the line CE is 5 feet, we know that the stick is 4 fee

36、t tall and, the length BE 95 feet. From these measurement we have the simple proportion sum 5 is to 4 as is to BA. Trees, water towers, monuments and other high buildings can be easily measured in the same way. 18. The underlined part a point is in fact the point E _. A. that is in the same straight

37、 line as the points C and B and far away from them B. from which the points D and A can be seen to be one pointC. that is in another straight line, the same as the line CBD. where only one point can be seen19. From the picture drawn by yourself, you can easily work out the sum and know the chimney i
