Leaning Windmill After a wind storm, a farmer notices that his 32-foot windmill may be leaning, but he is not sure. From a point on the ground 31 feet from the base of the windmill, he finds that the angle of elevation to the top of the windmill is 48. Is the windmill leaning? If so, what is the acute angle the windmill makes with the ground?
Height of a Building From a point A on the ground, the angle of elevation to the top of a tall building is 24.1. From a point B, which is 600 ft closer to the building, the angle of elevation is measured to be 30.2. Find the height of the building.
Guy Wire A guy wire runs from the ground to a cell tower. The wire is attached to the cell tower 150 feet above the ground. The angle formed between the wire and the ground is 43 (see figure).
