Hou are on a search and rescue team, trying to reach an injured hiker. You can see the light from a cell PHOHE, and you use your compass to determine that the hiker is at an azimuth of 59 degrees (59 degrees east of north) from you. You use a rangefinder to estimate that the hiker is 800 meters away. You need to know the GPS coordinates of the hiker in order to tell the rescue helicopter where to find the hiker. (Keep at least one decimal place in your answer.) How many meters north of you is the hiker? How many meters east of you is the hiker?

Large telescopes often have small fields of view, i.e. it can only see a very small corner of the sky. For example, the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Advanced Camera has a field of view that is roughly square and about 0.055 degree on a side. How do I Calculate the angular area of the HST's field of view in square degrees?

7. There are two lifeguard stations along the shoreline. Station B is 50 meters east of station A. A troubled swimmer is spotted by lifeguards at both stations. If the troubled swimmer is spotted at a 35° angle from the guard at station A anda 41° angle from station B (swimmer between A and B), which lifeguard is the shortest distance from the swimmer? By how many meters? 8. A road slopes 19° above the horizontal, and a vertical telephone pole stands beside the road. The angle of elevation of the sun is 56°, and the pole casts a 15.5 foot shadow downhill along the road, Draw and label the appropriate diagram. Find the height of the telephone.

Consider a mirror lying along the x-axis in R2. A laser starts at the point (−2, 6) and is fired in the direction of ⟨4, −3⟩. The beam travels until it hits the mirror, where it reflects off the mirror and then travels until it hits a wall on the line x = 20. (a) Give a parametrization for the initial path of the laser. (b) At what point does this beam hit the mirror? (c) Give a parametrization for the path of the reflected beam. (d) At what point does this beam hit the wall?
Distances in space are often quoted in units of light years, the distance light travels in one year. The most distant galaxy yet discovered is 12.0 × 109 light years away. How far is this in meters?
