A 16-ft ladder leans against a building. What is the angle between the ground and the ladder?
The angle of elevation to the top of a building in New York is found to be degrees from the ground at a distance of miles from the base of the building. Using this information, find the height of the building. Round to the tenths. Hint: 1 mile = 5280 feet
Your answer is
feet;
A radio tower is located 425 feet from the building. From a window in the building, a person determines that the angle of elevation to the top of the tower is and that the angle of depression to the bottom of the tower is. How tall is the tower?
feet
A survey team is trying to estimate the height of a mountain above a level plain. From one point on the plain, they observe that the angle of elevation to the top of the mountain is 26 degrees. From a point 2000 feet closer to the mountain along the plain, they find that the angle of elevation is 29 degrees. How high (in feet) is the mountain?
