PRACTICE PROBLEM 1.4.2.2
1. A man stands 45 feet from the base of a tree. He measures the angle of elevation from a
point on the ground to the top of the tree to be 59°. What is the height of the tree?
2. Find the sine, the cosine, and the tangent of 30°.
3. The angle of elevation of the top of the building at a distance of 50 m from its foot on a
horizontal plane is found to be 60 degree. Find the height of the building.
4. A ladder placed against a wall such that it reaches the top of the wall of height 6 m and the
ladder is inclined at an angle of 60 degree. Find how far the ladder is from the foot of the
wall.
5. A string of a kite is 100 meters long and the inclination of the string with the ground is 60°.
Find the height of the kite, assuming that there is no slack in the string.
