Suppose a man stands in front of a mm-or as show below. His eyes are 1.65 m above the floor and the top of his head is 0.13 m higher. Find the height above the floor of the top and bottom of the smallest minor in which he can see both the top of his head and his feet. How is this distance related to the man’s height?
A surveyor measures the distance across a straight river by the following method: starting directly across from a tree on the opposite bank, he walks x = 1.00 102 m along the riverbank to establish a baseline. Then he sights across to the tree. The angle from his baseline lo the tree is = 35.0 (Fig. P1.53). How wide is the river? Figure P1.53
A high fountain of water is located at the center of a circular pool as shown in Figure P1.47. Not wishing to get his feet wet, a student walks around the pool and measures its circumference to be 15.0 m. Next, the student stands at the edge of the pool and uses a protractor to gauge the angle of elevation at the bottom of the fountain to be 55.0. How high is the fountain? Figure P1.47
A surveyor measures the distance across a straight river by the following method (Fig. P3.7). Starting directly across from a tree on the opposite bank, she walks d = 100 m along the riverbank to establish a baseline. Then she sights across to the tree. The angle from her baseline to the tree is = 35.0. How wide is the river?

A high fountain of water is located at the center of a circular pool. Not wishing to get his feet wet, a student walks around the pool and measures its circumference to be 32.0 m. Next, the student stands at the edge of the pool and uses a protractor to gauge the angle of elevation at the bottom of the fountain to be 55.0∘. How high is the fountain?
A fountain of water is located at the center of a circular pool. Not wishing to get his feet wet, a student walks around the pool and measures its circumference to be 16.5 m. Next, the student stands at the edge of the pool and uses a protractor to gauge the angle of elevation at the bottom of the fountain to be 55.0°. How high is the fountain?
