Radius of the Moon As viewed from the earth, the angle subtended by the full moon is 0.518. Use this information and the fact that the distance AB from the earth to the moon is 236,900 mi to find the radius of the moon.
Distance to the moon To find the distance to the sun as in Exercise 67, we needed to know the distance to the moon. Here is a way to estimate the distance When the moon is seen at its zenith at a point A on the earth, it is observed to be at the horizon from point B see the following figure. Points A and B are 6155 mi apart, and the radius of the earth is 3960 mi. a Find the angle in degree. b Estimate the distance from point A to the moon.
Radius of the Earth In Exercise 80 of Section 5.1 a method was given for finding the radius of the earth. Here is a more modern method From a satellite 600 mi above the earth it is observed that the angle formed by the vertical and the line of sight to the horizon is 60.276. Use this information to find the radius of the earth.
Height of Cloud Cover To measure the height of the cloud cover at an airport, a worker shines a spotlight upward at an angle 75 from the horizontal. An observer 600 m away measures the angle of elevation to the spot of light to be 45. Find the height h of the cloud cover.
Height of a Building From a point A on the ground, the angle of elevation to the top of a tall building is 24.1. From a point B, which is 600 ft closer to the building, the angle of elevation is measured to be 30.2. Find the height of the building.
Radio Antenna A short-wave radio antenna is supported by two guy wires, 165 ft and 180 ft long. Each wire is attached to the top of the antenna and anchored to the ground at two anchor points on opposite sides of the antenna. The shorter wire makes an angle of 67 with the ground. How far apart are the anchor points?
Albert lives in New Orleans. At noon on a summer day, the angle of elevation of the sun is 84. The window in Alberts room is 4.0 feet high and 6.5 feet wide. (Sec Figure 24.) a. Calculate the area of the floor surface in Alberts room that is illuminated by the sun when the angle of elevation of the sun is 84. b.
