An airplane has leveled off is flying horizontally at an altitude of 12, 000 feet. Its pilot can see each of two farmhouses at points R and T in front of the plane. With angle measures as indicated, find mR
Along a straight shoreline, two houses are located at points H and M. The houses are 5000 feet apart. A small island lies in view of both houses, with angles as indicated. Find mI.
Some stores use an indirect method of observation. The purpose may be for safety to avoid collisions or to foil the attempts of would-be shoplifters. In this situation, a mirror see EF in the drawing is placed at the intersection of two aisles as shown. An observer at point P can then see any movement along the indicated aisle. In the sketch, what is the measure of GEF?
