Learn how to use the concept of similarity to measure distance
indirectly, using methods involving similar triangles, shadows, and
transits. Apply basic right-angle trigonometry to learn about the
relationships among steepness, angle of elevation,... and
height-to-distance ratio. Use trigonometric ratios to solve problems
involving right triangles.

Explore what can be measured and what it means to measure. Identify
measurable properties such as weight, surface area, and volume, and
discuss which metric units are more appropriate for measuring these
properties. Refine your use of precision in...struments, and learn about
alternate methods such as displacement. Explore approximation
techniques, and reason about how to make better approximations.
