- Tamara wants to calculate the height of a tree outside her home. Using her clinometer, she measuresthe slope angle from 30 feet away from the base of the tree and gets an angle of 62°. If Tamara’s eye levelis 5.5 feet above the ground, how tall is the tree?arrow_forwardSolve the problem. In one area, the lowest angle of elevation of the sun in winter is 26° 44'. Find the minimum distance x that a plant needing full sun can be placed from a fence that is 5.2 feet high. Round your answer to the tenths place when necessary. Sun O 10.5 ft O 13.7 ft O 9.9 ft O 10.3 ft 5.2ft 26° 44'arrow_forwardFind an approximate value of the smallest angle in the right triangle with sides 8, 15, and 17 units long. Enter your answer in degrees, accurate up to four or more decimal places.arrow_forward
- In the final seconds before the plane landed in the Hudson, the pilot slowed the plane. While the plane slowed it climbed from 210 ft at 3:29.58 to 370 ft at 3:30.17. An elevation change of 160 ft over a distance of 2000 ft. What was the angle of ascent for the plane (e) as it slowed? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth (second decimal place).arrow_forward9. A surveyor is mapping a large marsh in a state park. He walks and measures a straight line south from a cliff for 0.75 mile to a large tree. He walks east, but he has to make a detour around the marsh. He gets around the marsh to a spot where he is perpendicular to the large tree and the trail he originally walked south on. He looks northwest and measures a 40° angle (ZA) northwest to the cliff from his line of sight to the large tree. He measures the distance back to the starting point at the cliff as 1.17 miles. What is the straight-line distance from the large tree east to ZA? What is the tangent of ZB , the angle at the cliff? Clff 0.75 mile 1.17 mile 40 Treearrow_forwardTo determine the angle of elevation of a star in the sky, you align the star and the top of the backboard of a basketball hoop that is 5ft higher than your eyes in your line of vision. Your horizontal distance from the backboard is 12 feet. What is the angle of elevation of the star?arrow_forward
