Size and Distance
"Discover Distance with the Friend Finder!
Friend Finder Setup: Imagine you and your friend standing at a distance. To measure that distance, we've got a magical device with narrow slits and human figure openings.
Spy Mode: Look through the narrow slit, and as you rotate your arms, your friend will start to magically fit perfectly into one of the human figure openings.
Law of Similar Triangles: The secret sauce? The laws of similar triangles! The farther your friend is, the smaller the opening they fit into. It's like a mathematical magic trick.
Distance Decoder: Look at the number below the opening where your friend just perfectly fits. That number spills the beans – it's the distance (in feet) between you and your friend. The farther they are, the smaller the number.
Mathematical Marvel: It's not just a game; it's a dance of geometry and perception. The device uses the principles of similar triangles to turn a simple observation into a distance-decoding spectacle.
So, next time you want to know how far your friend is, let the Friend Finder work its magic – a fun way to explore the wonders of geometry and measurement!"
