Chapter 3.5, Problem 23E
An auto parts dealer in Huntsville, Alabama (at point H), has called a manufacturer for parts needed as soon as possible. The dealer will, in fact, send a courier for the necessary equipment. The manufacturer has two distribution centers located in nearby Tennessee-one in Nashville (at point N) and the other in Jackson (at point J). Using the

There are two lifeguard stations along the shoreline. Station B is 50 meters east of station A. A troubled swimmer is spotted by lifeguards at both stations. If the troubled swimmer is spotted at a 35° angle from the guard at station A and a 41° angle from station B (swimmer between A and B),which lifeguard is the shortest distance from the swimmer? By how many meters?
An air traffic controller is told by a pilot that she wants to land. She is currently at 40,000ft and wants to know what angle of descent to take. The
air traffic controller can see on the radar that her plane is 100,000ft away from the runway. What angle of descent should the pilot take to land?
100, 000 ft
40,000 ft
2. SuperNasr leaps to the top of a tall building (275 ft.) and, with his x-ray vision, sees poor little Geometry
students trapped in an Algebra classroom 40 feet underground. The angle of depression (i.e., made by his line
of sight parallel to the ground and his line of sight to the students) is 35°. If he were to "fly" down in a
straight line along his line of sight (through air, soil, and concrete), how far would he have to fly?
