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.
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.
Diameter of the Moon From the earth, the moon subtends an angle of approximately 0.5. If the distance to the moon is approximately 240,000 miles, find an approximation for the diameter of the moon accurate to the nearest hundred miles. (See Example 4 and the discussion that precedes it.)
Arc Length Suppose Figure 1 is an exaggerated diagram of a plane flying above Earth. When the plane is 4.55 miles above point B, the pilot finds angle A to be 90.8. Assuming that the radius of the earth is 3,960 miles, what is the distance from point A to point B along the circumference of the earth? (Hint: Find angle C first, then use the formula for arc length.)
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.
Distances to Venus The elongation of a planet is the angle formed by the planet, earth, and sun see the figure. It is known that the distance from the sun to Venus is 0.723 AU see Exercise 71 in Section 5.2. At a certain time the elongation of Venus is found to be 39.4. Find the possible distances from the earth to Venus at that time in astronomical units AU.
Latitudes Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Miami, Florida, lie approximately on the same meridian. Pittsburgh has a latitude of 40.5N, and Miami has a latitude of 25.5N. Find the distance between these two cities. The radius of the earth is 3960 mi.
a Let an acute angle in a right triangle. Identify the opposite side, the adjacent side, and the hypotenuse in the figure. b Define the six trigonometric ratios in terms of the adjacent and opposite sides and the hypotenuse. c Find the six trigonometric ratios for the angle shown in the figure. d List the special values of sine, cosine and tangent.
Geometry Use a compass to sketch a quarter of a circle of radius 10 centimeters. Using a protractor, construct an angle of 20 in standard position (see figure). Drop a perpendicular line from the point of intersection of the terminal side of the angle and the arc of the circle. By actual measurement, calculate the coordinates x,y of the point of intersection and use these measurements to approximate the six trigonometric functions of a 20 angle.
