- HOW DO YOU SEE IT? To solve the triangle, would you begin by using the Law of Sines or the Law of Cosines? Explain.arrow_forwardTake this test as you would take a test in class. When you are finished, check your work against the answers given in the back of the book. A water sprinkler sprays water on a lawn over a distance of 25 feet and rotates through an angle of 130. Find the area of the lawn watered by the sprinkler.arrow_forwardThe Learning Tower of Pisa The bell tower of the cathedral in Pisa, Italy, leans 5.6 from the vertical. A tourist stands 105 m from its base, with the tower leaning directly toward her. She measures the angle of elevation to the top of the tower to be 29.2. Find the length of the tower to the nearest meter.arrow_forward
- Angle of Elevation A man standing near a building notices that the angle of elevation to the top of the building is 64. He then walks 240 ft farther away from the building and finds the angle of elevation to the top to be 43. How tall is the building?arrow_forwardHeight of a Tower A 600-ft guy wire is attached to the top of a communications tower. If the wire makes an angle of 65 with the ground, how tall is the communications tower?arrow_forwardDistance A 51-foot wire running from the top of a tent pole to the ground makes an angle of 58 with the ground. If the length of the tent pole is 44 feet, how far is ii from the bottom of the tent pole to the point where the wire is fastened to the ground? (The tent pole is not necessarily perpendicular to the ground.)arrow_forward
- Leaning Windmill After a wind storm, a farmer notices that his 32-foot windmill may be leaning, but he is not sure. From a point on the ground 31 feet from the base of the windmill, he finds that the angle of elevation to the top of the windmill is 48. Is the windmill leaning? If so, what is the acute angle the windmill makes with the ground?arrow_forwardLeaning Ladder A 20-ft ladder is leaning against a building. If the base of the ladder is 6 ft from the base of the building, what is the angle of elevation of the ladder? How high does the ladder reach on the building?arrow_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
- Radio Antenna A short-wave radio antenna is supported by two guy wires, 165 ft and 180 ft long. Each wire is attached to the top of the antenna and anchored to the ground at two anchor points on opposite sides of the antenna. The shorter wire makes an angle of 67 with the ground. How far apart are the anchor points?arrow_forwardRadius of the Moon As viewed from the earth, the angle subtended by the full moon is 0.518. Use this information and the fact that the distance AB from the earth to the moon is 236,900 mi to find the radius of the moon.arrow_forwardEmpire State Building You are standing 45 meters from the base of the Empire State Building. You estimate that the angle of elevation to the top of the 86th floor (the observatory) is 82. The total height of the building is another 123 meters above the 86th floor. What is the approximate height of the building? One of your friends is on the 86th floor. What is the distance between you and your friend?arrow_forward
