9. A surveyor is mapping a large marsh in a state park. He walks and measures a straight line south from a cliff for 0.75 mile to a large tree. He walks east, but he has to make a detour around the marsh. He gets around the marsh to a spot where he is perpendicular to the large tree and the trail he originally walked south on. He looks northwest and measures a 40° angle (ZA) northwest to the cliff from his line of sight to the large tree. He measures the distance back to the starting point at the cliff as 1.17 miles. What is the straight-line distance from the large tree east to ZA? What is the tangent of ZB , the angle at the cliff? Clff 0.75 mile 1.17 mile 40 Tree
4. A young man launches a drone from the ground 60ft from where he is standing. As the drone hovers above the ground, the gps on the controller reads that the distance from the young man to the drone is 90 ft with an angle of elevation of 48 degrees. If the drone continues to fly away from the man maintaining the same vertical height. Sketch a diagram of the situation and determine the distance between the young man and the drone when the angle of elevation is now 40 degrees. Extra Credit:
