What is the distance between you and your friend?arrow_forwardIf the angle of elevation to the sun is 74.3 when a flagpole casts a shadow of 22.5 feet, what is the height of the flagpole? a. 63.2 feet b. 79.5 feet c. 83.1 feet d. 80.0 feetarrow_forward
- To determine the angle of elevation of a star in the sky, you align the star and the top of the backboard of a basketball hoop that is 5 feet higher than your eyes in your line of vision (see figure). Your horizontal distance from the backboard is 12 feet. What is the angle of elevation of the star?arrow_forwardAlbert lives in New Orleans. At noon on a summer day, the angle of elevation of the sun is 84. The window in Alberts room is 4.0 feet high and 6.5 feet wide. (Sec Figure 24.) a. Calculate the area of the floor surface in Alberts room that is illuminated by the sun when the angle of elevation of the sun is 84. b. One winter day the angle of elevation of the sun outside Alberts window is 37. Will the illuminated area of the floor in Alberts room be greater on the summer day, or on the winter day? Figure 24arrow_forwardGuy Wire A guy wire runs from the ground to a cell tower. The wire is attached to the cell tower 150 feet above the ground. The angle formed between the wire and the ground is 43 (see figure). (a) How long is the guy wire? (b) How far from the base of the tower is the guy wire anchored to the ground?arrow_forward
