It looks like another city has an overgrown ape problem. This time, a giant ape has climbed to the top of a 1,250 foot tall building. An animal control officer stands 257 feet from the base of the building and is poised to shoot a high-potency tranquilizer dart at the ape. 1. At which angle should the animal control officer hold their dart gun to reach the top of the building (ZA)? 2. What is the distance the tranquilizer dart travels from the officer to the ape?
