Welcome to the first episode of Buffer Zone! In the first part of this episode let's see how to measure altitude on Earth. In the next part we'll learn how altitude is measured on other planets as well as how is altitude related to air pressure and how it affects our bodies and brains.<br /><br />Regarding the math...<br /><br />Sines definition: sinA=a/h = opposite/hypotenuse (<br /><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigonometric_functions#Right-angled_triangle_definitions" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigonometric_functions#Right-angled_triangle_definitions</a><br />)<br />Law of sines: a/sinA=b/sinB=c/sinC (<br /><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_sines" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_sines</a><br />)<br />Supplementary angles (<br /><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle#Supplementary_angle" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle#Supplementary_angle</a><br />)<br /><br />I know, the final result of my calculation should be 1922.9.
