Question
5. 6. will be needed to enclose this field? It is desired to determine the height of a church steeple. Assuming that the ground is level, a 500.00 ft length is measured out from the base of the steeple and a 36°30′ vertical angle is determined from the point on the ground to the top of the steeple. How high is the steeple? Give your answer in meters (1 meter = 3.2808 ft). Repeat problem 5 if an instrument is set up 600.0 ft from a tower with its telescope center 5.000 ft above the ground. The telescope is sighted horizontally to a point 5.000 ft from the bottom of the tower and then the angle to the top of the tower is measured and is found to be 24°34'. How high is the tower in meters? 7. A section of road with a constant 3% slope or grade (i.e, 3 ft vertical for every 100 ft horizontal) is to be paved. If the road is 24.000 ft wide and its total horizontal length is 900.00 ft, compute the road area to be paved.
