How does the indirect (also called Triangulation or Pythagorean) method work?

Laser measuring devices use a process called triangulation to calculate indirect measurements. Triangulation involves measuring two sides of a right triangle and mathematically determining the missing (3rd) side using the Pythagorean Theorem the sum of the squares of the two sides (shortest legs) of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse (longest side). For example, if you were able to position yourself at the southwest corner of a house (facing north) so that you can see the complete south side of the house (off to your right) and also at a position perfectly in line with the west side of the house, you have created a right triangle.

One leg of the right triangle is the distance from you to the southwest corner of the house. The diagonal measurement from you to the southeast corner of the house is the hypotenuse (longest side). The third side (missing leg) is the distance from the southwest corner to the southeast corner of the house.

With indirect measurements, ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
