Question 1045336: The angle of elevation from me to the top of a library is 15* (degrees). We know that the library is 50 feet tall.
a) How far am I standing from the library?
b) How long of a rope would I need to stretch from me to the top of the library?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The angle of elevation from me to the top of a library is 15* (degrees). We know that the library is 50 feet tall.
a) How far am I standing from the library?
tan(15) = 50/d (d is the distance from the library)
--------
b) How long of a rope would I need to stretch from me to the top of the library?
That's the hypotenuse
sin(15) = 50/hyp
