Transcribed Image Text:You are standing at ground level, 5000 ft away from where a rocket is being launched (pictured below). You keep the camera pointed at the rocket, so the angle of the camera changes as
the height of the rocket changes.
h
5000 ft
For the following questions (as shown in the picture), let 0 be the angle between the ground and the line of sight between the camera and rocket. Also, let h be the height of the rocket
above the ground.
Questions:
1. Without solving for the diagonal distance between the camera and rocket, write an equation using an appropriate trig function that relates the angle of the camera, the 5000 ft
distance, and the height of the rocket.
2. Use your equation from question 1 to find what the height of the rocket is when the camera angle is 50°. round your answer to two decimals. Be sure to label your units (feet,
degrees, radians, etc.).
3. Use your equation from question 1 to find what the angle of the camera is when the rocket is at a height of 100,000 ft. round your answer to two decimals. Be sure to label your
units (feet, degrees, radians, etc.).
Figure in plane geometry formed by two rays or lines that share a common endpoint, called the vertex. The angle is measured in degrees using a protractor. The different types of angles are acute, obtuse, right, straight, and reflex.
