Calculation of Length of A Fish Using Two–Dimensional Geometry

Biplab Kumar Das, Ashimananda Chakraborty, Devashish Kar

Abstract :

Length of the fish could also be determined with the help of two–dimensional geometry without handling the fish and also without the aid of a metre scale as in usual practice. In this method, X and Y axes are considered as the length and the maximum depth the water body respectively. Locating (X1, Y1) and (X2, Y2) as the coordinates of the two ends (tip of the snout and end of the caudal fin) of a fish, we could obtain the total length (TL) of the fish. Application of Pythagoras theorem and the modus operandi of these operations have been discussed in the present communication.
