You are standing on the Grand View Terrace viewing platform at Mount Rushmore, 1000 feet from the base of the monument. A. You look up at the top of Mount Rushmore at an angle of 24 degrees. How high is the top of the monument from where you are standing? Assume your eye level is 5.5 feet above the platform. B. The elevation of the Grand View Terrace is 5280 feet. Use your answer in part (a) to find the elevation of the top of Mount Rushmore.
From a point 50 feet from the foot of a vertical monument, the measure of the angle of elevation of the top of the monument is 65 degrees. What is the height of the monument to the nearest foot?

7. A 200-foot tall monument is located in the distance. From a window in a building, a person determines that the angle of elevation to the top of the monument is 15°, and that the angle of depression to the bottom of the tower is 2°. a. Draw and label a triangle that represents the scenario above. b. How far (in feet) is the person from the monument? If necessary, round to one decimal place.
