Activity 4

Illustrate and solve each problem. Round to the nearest hundredth.

1.) A tower casts a shadow that is 60 feet long when the angle of elevation of the sun is 65˚. How tall is the tower?

2.) Matt is standing on top of a cliff 305 feet above a lake. The measurement of the angle of depression to a boat on the lake is
42˚. How far is the boat from the base of the cliff?

3.) Matt is standing on top of a cliff 305 feet above a lake. The measurement of the angle of depression to a boat on the lake is
42˚. How far is the boat from Matt?

4.) A ladder that is 20 ft. long is leaning against the side of a building. If the angle formed between the ladder and the ground is 75
, how far is the bottom of the ladder from the base of the building?

5.) A ladder that is 30 ft long needs to reach 27 ft up a building. What should the angle off of the vertical be?

6.) You are standing 50 meters from a hot air balloon that is preparing to take off. The angle of elevation to the top of the balloon
is 28˚. Find the height of the balloon.

7.) A man is in a boat that is floating 175 feet from the base of a 200-foot cliff. What is the angle of depression between the cliff
and the boat?

8.) John wants to measure the height of a tree. He walks exactly 100 feet from the base of the tree and looks up. The angle from
the ground to the top of the tree is 33º . How tall is the tree?

9.) The flagpole in front of CB East casts a shadow 40 feet long when the measurement of the angle of elevation to the sun is 31˚.
How tall is the flagpole?

10.) Kelly is flying a kite to which the angle of elevation is 70˚. The string on the kite is 65 meters long. How far is the kite above
the ground?

11.) A straight waterslide is 175 feet above ground and is 200 feet long. What is the angle of depression to the bottom of the
slide?

12.) From a 200-foot observation tower on the beach, a man sights a whale in difficulty. The angle of depression of the whale is
7˚. How far is the whale from the shoreline?
