As she props the canoe up against the back of the truck at a 90° angle with theground, her shadow is 374 cm long. The canoe is 440 cm long and Martina is 170 cm tall. First,illustrate this situation with a drawing. Then determine how long was the shadow of the canoe ifit was just behind Martina?arrow_forwardA balloon was rising vertically in the air from the ground level that was 12 feet away from an observation point at the rate of 5 feet per second.

- Suppose you wnat to install a vertical TV tower on the side of a hill which makes a 25 degree angle with the horizon. The tower is 75 meters high, and guy wires are to be attached two-thirds of the way up the tower. If the guy wires are anchored 30 meters up the hill and 35 meters down the hill from the bottom of the tower, find the length of the guy wires.arrow_forwardA football player punts a ball at an angle of 43 at 1,5 feet off the ground, with an initial velocity of 79 feet per second.

- A plane is flying with an airspeed of 160 mph and heading of 150º. The wind currents are running at 35 mph at 160º clockwise from due north. Find the ground speed of the plane to the nearest hundredth.arrow_forwardTwo airplanes leave an airport, travelling in the same direction. Thirty minutes later, an observer on the groundsees the first plane with an angle of elevation measuring 64 degrees and an altitude of 9000 m. At the same time, thesecond plane has an angle of elevation of 36 degrees (in the opposite direction) and an altitude of 10 000 m. Find the airdistance between the two planes, rounded to the nearest kilometre. Draw the diagram.arrow_forwardDoc Brown (from Back To The Future) has jumped back in time again to 1955 to witness Marty McFly trying to time jump out of 1955 in his DeLorean. Doc knows that Marty has to get the car up to 88 miles per hour in order for the time travel to work. Doc is at the top of a 60 foot building. At one point, he notices the car makes a 10 degree angle to where he is located. Five seconds later, he noticed the angle is now 45 degrees. Is Marty driving fast enough to make the jump back to 1985? Show all workarrow_forward
- Angelo is fencing off an area against the side of his warehouse. In the diagram below, you can see that he has already installed a section of fencing 81 m long, and must add a second section that meets the wall of the warehouse at a 21° angle. If the two sections of fencing come together at an angle of 124°, how long is the second section of fencing (x)? 81 m 124° 21° 35.01 m 187.38 m 129.64 m 117.08 marrow_forwardJack and Jill were on the same side of a hill but were 34 m apart. Both were lying on the ground looking up at the peak of a hill. Jill, who is closer to the hill, determined that the angle of elevation to the top was 37 degree. Jack determined that the angle of the elevation to the top from his position was 22 degree. How high is the peak of the hillarrow_forwardAn airplane is heading north at an airspeed of 800 km/hr, but there is a wind blowing from the southeast at 70 km/hr.
