Slope App
We create an app which allows the user to drag a right angled triangle over a picture, and thus estimate the slope of a cliff face.
We create an app which allows the user to drag a right angled triangle over a picture, and thus estimate the slope of a cliff face.
We draw a triangle on top of our picture.
Constrain one line to be horizontal and the other to be vertical.
Constrain the coordinates of two points, leaving them as variables.
Measure the lengths of the horizontal and vertical lines and the slope of the slant line.
When we create the app, we specify that the coordinates variables should be specified by dragging.
Here is the resulting app.
