A park ranger wanted to measure the height of a tall tree. The ranger stood 9.50 m from the base of the tree; and he observed that his line of sight made an angle of 65.2 degrees above the horizontal as he looked at the top of the tree. The park ranger's eyes are 1.80 m above the ground. What is the height of the tree?

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

In order to measure the height of a mountain, a surveyor takes two sightings from a transit 1½ m high. The sightings are taken 1200 m apart from the same ground elevation. The first measured angle of elevation is 51°, and the second is 38°. To the nearest meter, what is the height of the mountain (above the ground elevation). a. 2445 b. 2555 c. 2554 d. 2454
