individual who is looking at the top of the tower at a 60 angle.


You are standing 20 feet away from a tree, and you measure the angle of
elevation to be 38. How tall is the tree?
A flagpole stands in the middle of a flat, level field. Fifty feet away from its base
a surveyor measures the angle to the top of the flagpole as 48. How tall is the
flagpole?
Standing across the street 50 feet from a building, the angle to the top of the
building is 40. An antenna sits on the front edge of the roof of the building.
The angle to the top of the antenna is 52. How tall is the building? How tall is
the antenna itself, not including the height of the building?
Solve the triangle, if possible:
(i)
B = 38, C = 21, b = 24 m
(ii)
B = 42, a = 7.2 feet, c = 3.4 feet
(iii) A = 30, b = 12 m, c = 24 m
(iv) a = 2 ft, b = 3 ft, c = 8 ft

6. A new homeowner has a triangular-shaped back yard. Two of the three sides

measure 53 ft and 42 ft and form an included angle of 135. To determine the


amount of fertilizer and grass seed to be purchased, the owner has to know, or
at least approximate, the area of the yard. Find the area of the yard to the nearest
square foot.
7. A sail that is in the shape of an isosceles triangle has a vertex angle of 38. The
angle is included by two sides, each measuring 20 ft. Find the area of the sail.
8. An industrial piece of real estate is priced at $4.15 per square foot. Find, to the
nearest $1000, the cost of a triangular lot measuring 324 feet by 516 feet by 412
feet.
9. A triangular swimming pool measures 44 ft on one side and 32.8 ft on another
side. These sides form an angle that measures 40.8. How long is the other side?
10. A bridge is being built across a canyon. The length of the bridge is 5045 ft.
From the deepest point in the canyon, the angles of elevation of the ends of the
bridge are 78 and 72. How deep is the canyon?
