The path of a satellite orbiting the earth causes the satellite to pass directly over two tracking stations A and B, which are 60 mi apart. When the satellite is on side of the two stations, the angles of elevation at A and B are measured to be 87.0° and 84.2°, respectively. (Round your answers to the nearest mile.) 87.0° 84.2° B (a) How far is the satellite from station A? 390 x mi

CN Tower The CN Tower in Toronto, Canada, is the tallest free-standing structure in North America. A woman on the observation deck, 1150ft above the ground, wants to determine the distance between two landmarks on the ground below. She observes that the angle formed by the lines of sight to these two landmarks is 43. She also observes that the angle between the vertical and the line of sight to one of the landmarks is 62 and that to the other landmark is 54. Find the distance between the two landmarks.
Height of a Flagpole Two people decide to estimate the height of a flagpole. One person positions himself due north of the pole and the other person stands due cast of the pole. If the two people are the same distance from the pole and 25 feet from each other, find the height of the pole if the angle of elevation from the ground to the top of the pole at each persons position is 56 (Figure 21).
