Brad is shooting targets as part of his training to become a police officer. Unfortunately his sight is off, so his shots are all aimed 7
degrees to the left. If Brad is shooting at a range of 100 feet, how far off the bullseye will his shots land.
A: Draw yourself a diagram of the target, the path of the shot Brad wants to take (that hits the bullseye), and the path of the shot
he actually takes due to his inaccurate sight. Based on this triangle, which trigonometric function should you use to relate the
distance away from the bullseye that Brad's shot lands and the known distance from Brad to his target?
---Select---
B: How far off the bullseye will Brad's shots land?
feet.

Nick is building an obstacle course for an event his fraternity is hosting. As part of the course, he needs to construct a ramp. The
ramp needs to bring the participants up to an elevated platform that is 16 inches off the ground. To ensure the ramp doesn't trip
too many people up, Nick wants to give it a low, 11 degree angle of inclination. In order to properly pad the ramp, Nick needs to
know how long its diagonal surface will be. How long must this surface be to meet Nick's specifications?
A: Draw yourself a diagram of the ramp, which has the shape of a right triangle. Be sure to label the known angle of inclination.
Based on this triangle, which trigonometric function should you use to relate ramp's height to the length of its diagonal surface?
---Select---
B: How long will the ramp's diagonal surface be?
inches.
