- Environmental Science The bearing from the Pine Knob fire tower to the Colt Station fire tower is N 65 E, and the two towers are 30 kilometers apart. A fire spotted by rangers in each tower has a bearing of N 80 E from Pine Knob and S 70 E from Colt Station (see figure). Find the distance of the fire from each tower.arrow_forwardDetermine the values A in degrees and minutes that correspond to the following functions. secA=1.5753arrow_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?

- A plane takes off from an airport and flies to town A, located d1 = 210 km from the airport in the direction 20.0° north of east. The plane then flies to town B, located d2 = 220 km at 30.0° west of north from town A. Use graphical methods to determine the distance and direction from town B to the airport. (Enter the distance in km and the direction in degrees south of west.) Please use Significant Figuresarrow_forwardA ship leaves port at noon, heading due South at 16 knots. Three hours later, after clearing port, it changes course to S 15° W. Determine the ship's bearing and distance from the port at 5 pm. Round answers to 1 decimal place. Include a diagram.arrow_forwardMatthew parks his car between Karen’s and Patrick’s apartment buildings. The car is 46 m in frontof Karen’s apartment building. The angle of elevation from the car to the top of the building is 40°.Matthew’s car is 39 m away from Patrick’s apartment building. The angle of elevation from the carto the top of the building is 50°. Determine the height of each building, to the nearest metre.arrow_forward
