The kite string is 65 meters long and forms a 64° angle with the ground. How high is the kite? 2) North star at Tahoe has a beginner ski slope makes a 15° angle with the ground. How far does a skier travel over a horizontal distance of 120 meters? 3) A ramp is to be built from the ground to the back of a semi truck. The bed of the truck is 1.3 meters above the ground. The ramp makes a 22° angle with the ground. How long will the ramp be? 4) The angle of elevation from a boat to the top of a 48-meter lighthouse is 25°. How far is the ship from the base of the lighthouse? 5) A prince is standing 100 meters from the base of a tower where a beautiful princess is being held captive. The princess sees the prince at a 30° angle of depression. How high will the prince have to climb to rescue the princess? 6) A 60 foot ramp rises from the first floor to the second floor of a parking garage. The ram makes a 15° angle with the ground. How high above the first floor is the second floor?
