A spring is attached at one end to support B and at the other end to collar A, as represented in the figure. Collar A slides along the vertical bar between points C and D. In the figure, the angle 0 is the angle created as the collar moves between points Cand D. D 3 ft A When the spring is stretched and the distance from point A to point B is 5.2 feet, what is the value of 0 in degrees to the nearest tenth of a degree?

Some stores use an indirect method of observation. The purpose may be for safety to avoid collisions or to foil the attempts of would-be shoplifters. In this situation, a mirror see EF in the drawing is placed at the intersection of two aisles as shown. An observer at point P can then see any movement along the indicated aisle. In the sketch, what is the measure of GEF?
The designers of a water park have sketched a preliminary drawing of a new slide (see figure). (a) Find the height h of the slide. (b) Find the angle of depression from the top of the slide to the end of the slide at the ground in terms of the horizontal distance d a rider travels. (c) Safety restrictions require the angle of depression to be no less than 25 and no more than 30. Find an interval for how far a rider travels horizontally.

a Argue that the midpoint of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equidistant from the three vertices of the triangle. Use the fact that the congruent diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other. Be sure to provide a drawing. bUse the relationship from part a to find CM, the length of the median to the hypotenuse of right ABC, in which mC=90, AC = 6, and BC = 8.
