- Elevation 80869
We can see the top of the tower standing on a plane from a certain point A at an elevation angle of 39° 25''. If we come towards its foot 50m closer to place B, we can see the top of the tower from it at an elevation angle of 56° 42''. How tall is the tow - Elevation 80866
Find the height of the tower when the geodetic measured two angles of elevation α=34° 30'' and β=41°. The distance between places AB is 14 meters. - In the desert
A man wondering in the desert walks 5.7 miles in the direction S 26° W. He then turns 90° and walks 9 miles in the direction N 49° W. At that time, how far is he from his starting point, and what is his bearing from his starting point? - Big tree
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 construction
A construction worker is trying to find the height of a skyrise building. He is standing some distance away from the base with an angle of elevation of 65 degrees. The worker moves 50 feet closer and measures the angle of elevation to be 75 degrees. Find
- Maggie
Maggie observes a car and a tree from a window. The angle of depression of the car is 45 degrees, and that of the tree is 30 degrees. If the distance between the vehicle and the tree is 100 m, find Maggie's distance from the tree. - The airplane
The airplane sights a runway at an angle of depression of 23°. It is flying at an altitude of 3 kilometers above the ground. What is the horizontal distance of the airplane from the airport? - Horizontal 64864
The meter stick is located on the meridian plane and deviated from the horizontal plane to the north by an angle of magnitude 70°. Calculate the length of the shadow cast by a meter stick at true noon if the Sun culminates at an angle of 41°03'. - The ladder
The ladder makes an angle of 2°30' with the wall and reaches a height of 2.3 m. How far is the ladder from the wall? - The chimney
How high is the chimney if we see it from a distance of 60 m at an angle of 42°?
- Regular octagon pad
You need to make a pad in the shape of a regular octagon with a side length of 4 cm. What is the minimum diameter of the circle-shaped semi-finished product from which we make the pad, and what will be the percentage of waste? (Round the results to 1 deci - Touch circle
Point A has a distance (A, k) = 10 cm from a circle k with radius r = 4 cm and center S. Calculate: a) the distance of point A from the point of contact T if the tangent to the circle is drawn from point A b) the distance of the contact point T from the l - A missile
A missile is fired with a speed of 100 fps in a direction 30° above the horizontal. Determine the maximum height to which it rises. Fps foot per second. - Aircraft
From the aircraft flying at an altitude of 500m, they observed places A and B (at the same altitude) in the direction of flight at depth angles alpha = 48° and beta = 35°. What is the distance between places A and B? - Calculate 43331
From the lookout tower, 70 meters high, we see a man at a depth angle of 15 degrees. Calculate how far one stands from the base of the lookout tower. Draw and calculate.
