A camera has been set up to record a diver at a diving competition. What is
important for those operating the camera is the viewing angle, which is the angle
made from the camera to the diver, called e in the picture below:
Diver
Sft
18 ft
Camera
Notice that the diver stands 8 ft tall with her arms extended, and the diving platform
is located 18 ft above the camera. The horizontal distance between the camera and
the diving board is called x.
If x = 12 ft, find the value of 0, rounded to the nearest tenth of a degree.
HINT: Notice there are two other angles, a and ß. Knowing these might help.
To measure the height of the cloud cover at an airport, a worker directs a reflector upwards at an angle of 75º from the horizontal, an observer at 600 m measures the angle of elevation to the point of light and finds it to be 45º . Determine the height h of the cloud cover Select one:
a. 126.8
b. 810.51
c. 473, 20
d. 2,239.23
what is the correct pls help.
You have a ramp that is 3.14 meters long, as measured along the surface of the ramp.
You raise that ramp so that it makes a 3.14 degree angle with the horizontal.
How much higher-will one end be than the other, in meters?
