- A radio antenna
Avanti is trying to find the height of a radio antenna on the roof of a local building. She stands at a horizontal distance of 21 meters from the building. The angle of elevation from her eyes to the roof (point A) is 42°, and the angle of elevation from - A lighthouse
A lighthouse overlooks a bay, and it is 77 meters high. From the top, the lighthouse keeper can see a yacht southward at an angle of depression of 32 degrees and another boat eastward at an angle of 25 degrees. What is the distance between the boats? - A boy 5
A boy starts at A and walks 3km east to B. He then walks 4km north to C. Find the bearing of C from A. - X-triangle
Find the length of the x segment in the given triangle drawings.
- The apothem
The apothem of a regular hexagon is 5√3 inches. Find one of its sides and area. - Gimli Glider
Aircraft Boeing 767 lose both engines at 42000 feet. The plane captain maintains optimum gliding conditions. Every minute, lose 1910 feet and maintain constant speed 211 knots. Calculate how long it takes for a plane to hit the ground from engine failure. - Two aircraft
Two planes fly to the airport. At some point, the first airplane is away from the airport by 98 km and the second 138 km. The first aircraft flies at an average speed of 420 km/h, and the second average speed is 360 km/h, while the tracks of both planes a - 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 - Slope of the pool
Calculate the slope (rise:run) of the bottom of the swimming pool long 10 m. The water depth at the beginning of the pool is 0.96 m (for children), and the depth at the end is 1.86 m (for swimmers). Slope express as a percentage and as the angle in degree
- Cross road
From the junction of two streets perpendicular to each other, two cyclists (each on another street) walked out. One ran 18 km/h and the second 24 km/h. How are they away from a) 6 minutes, b) 15 minutes? - Journey
Charles and Eva stand in front of his house. Charles went to school south at a speed of 5.4 km/h, and Eva went to the store on a bicycle eastwards at 21.6 km/h. How far apart are they after 10 minutes? - Determine 8202
An observer watches two boats at depth angles of 64° and 48° from the top of the hill, which is 75 m above the lake level. Determine the distance between the boats if both boats and the observer are in the same vertical plane. - The chimney
How high is the chimney if we see it from a distance of 60 m at an angle of 42°? - Map - climb
On the map of the High Tatras, on a scale of 1:11000, are cable car stations in the Tatranska Lomnica and the Skalnate Pleso with a distance of 354.6 mm. The altitude of these stations is 949 m and 1760 m. What is the average angle of climb on this cable
- Calculate 83261
Calculate the area of the triangle ABC, in which you know the side c=5 cm, the angle at the top A= 70 degrees, and the ratio of the segments cut by the height to the side c is 1:3 - Two cyclists
Two cyclists started crossing at the same time. One goes to the north speed of 20 km/h, the second eastward at a speed of 26 km/h. What will be the direct distance cycling 30 minutes from the start? - Fighter
A military fighter flies at an altitude of 10 km. The ground position was aimed at an altitude angle of 23° and 12 seconds later at an altitude angle of 27°. Calculate the speed of the fighter in km/h. - 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 - Difference 23481
The distance as the crow flies between Dolní and Horní Ves is 3 km, and the steady climb is 5%. What is the height difference between Horní and Dolní Ves rounded to the nearest meter?
