An aerial photograph from a U-2 spy plane is taken of a building suspected of housing nuclear warheads. When the photograph is taken, the angle of elevation of the sun is 43 degrees. By comparing the shadow cast by the building in question to the shadows of other objects of known size in the photograph, scientists determine that the shadow of the building in question is 64 feet long. How tall is the bulding? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

It’s a sunny Saturday afternoon and you are walking around the lake by your house, enjoying the last few days of summer. The sidewalk surrounding the perimeter of the circular lake is crowded with walkers and runners. You then notice a runner approaching you wearing a T-shirt with writing on it. You read the first two lines, but are unable to read the third line before he passes. You wonder, ”Hmmm, if he continues around the lake, I bet I’ll see him again but I should anticipate the time when we’ll pass again.” You look at your watch and it is 5:07pm. You estimate your walking speed at 3 m/s and the runner’s speed to be about 14 m/s. You also estimate that the diameter of the lake is about 2 miles. At what time should you expect to read the last line of the t-shirt?
