Gail wants to measure the distance AB across a small lake ( see the figure below ) . She walks 240 m away in a direction perpendicular to the line AB to a point C from which she can sight the point B. She then walks back 80 m along CA to a point P and then walks in a direction perpendicular to CA to a point in line with B and C. She finds that With this data, what does Gail find for PQ = 60m the distance AB ?

I was in Sydney in 2003 and, while walking across the Sydney Harbour Bridge, I took this photo of the Opera House. The picture was made from about the same height as the top of the highest sail. I made this picture from a point about 500 m horizontally from the Opera House, and, as we can see from the photo, the waterline below the highest sail has an angle of depression of about 8°. Based on this information, can you find how high above sea level is the Opera House's highest sail?

The figure below is a diagram that shows how Colleen estimates the height of a tree that is on the other side of a stream. She stands at point A facing the tree and finds the angle of elevation from Ato the top of the tree to be 51°. Then she turns 105° and walks 25 feet to point B, where she measures the angle between her path AB and the line BC extending from her to the base of the tree. She finds that angle to be 38°. Use this information to find the height of the tree. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
John (whose line of sight is 6 ft above horizontal) is trying to estimate the height of a tall oak tree. he first measures the angle of elevation from where he is looking as 35 degrees. he walks 30 ft closer to the tree and find that the angle of elevation has increased by 12 degrees. estimate the height of the tree rounded to the nearest whole number.

An airplane is heading north at an airspeed of 600 km/hr, but there is a wind blowing from the southeast at 80 km/hr. The plane will end up flying degrees off course. The plane's speed relative to the ground will be km/hr. Give your answers accurate to the nearest tenth.
A meteorologist has collected the data about the diameter of hailstones in inches, d, and the speed at which they fall in miles per hour, s. The resulting line of best fit for the data set is s=7.62+29.6d. What is the predicted speed for a hailstone with a diameter of 5 inches? Round to the nearest whole number.
A pilot flies in a straight path for 1 h 30 min. She then makes a course correction, heading 10 degrees to the right of her original course, and flies 2 h in the new direction. If she maintains a constant speed of 700 mi/h, how far is she from her starting position? Your answer is mi; Enter your answer rounded to two decimal places.
