At one point in time a person observes from a point 300 meters away a hot air balloon climbing vertically in the air. The angle of elevation is 25 degrees from the person to the top of the balloon. Later, the person observes that the angle of elevation to the balloon is now 60 degrees. What is the change in altitude, to the nearest meter, for the balloon from the first and second observations?

Question

Figure in plane geometry formed by two rays or lines that share a common endpoint, called the vertex. The angle is measured in degrees using a protractor. The different types of angles are acute, obtuse, right, straight, and reflex.

In the final seconds before the plane landed in the Hudson, the pilot slowed the plane. While the plane slowed it climbed from 210 ft at 3:29.58 to 370 ft at 3:30.17. An elevation change of 160 ft over a distance of 2000 ft. What was the angle of ascent for the plane (e) as it slowed? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth (second decimal place).
To estimate the height of a building, two students find the angle of elevation from a point (at ground level) down the street from the building to the top of the building is 38°. From a point that is 250 feet closer to the building, the angle of elevation (at ground level) to the top of the building is 49°. If we assume that the street is level, use this information to estimate the height of the building. The height of the building is feet.
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:
Two contestants on the reality show, Naked and Afraid, were looking for safe ground to make a shelter. They reach the top of a ridge and look down at the trail behind them. In the distance, they can see where they were dropped off by producers. By using a small device called a clinometer, they're able to measure the angle between their horizontal line of sight and the dropoff point as 37° and they know that the hill they just hiked up has a height of 300 yards. How far away have they travelled?

The roller coaster is 80 feet above the ground at a horizontal position of 110 feet from the boarding station.The roller coaster is at a height of 100 feet above the ground as it descends the hill and reaches a horizontal position of 170 feet from the boarding station.The roller coaster levels off at a height of 80 feet above the ground at a horizontal position of 200 feet from the boarding station, then resumes dropping.A drawing of a section of the roller coaster with points marked at 110 comma 80, 170 comma 100, and 200 comma 80.Using the height of 80 feet as a baseline (because that is also the height the roller coaster is when it levels off), determine the rule for the polynomial function representing the height of the roller coaster, h open parentheses x close parentheses, at a horizontal position of x feet from that of the boarding station. This rule can be left in factored form. Fill in the blanks to report your result as follows. a should be written as an integer or…
