Bullet Trajectory -- Trigonometry - Forensics - 21st Century Math Project
An unfortunate reality in our world is that homicides happen. In order to bring justice for the victims crime scenes have to be carefully dissected to bring about evidence to find and convict a criminal. One way this happens is through a careful analysis of the blood spatter. The shape of a blood spatter tells a great deal about the angle in which it hit the ground. This can enlighten investigators when they are trying to determine the height or distance that the crime took place. In geometry or
