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 Learning Tower of Pisa The bell tower of the cathedral in Pisa, Italy, leans 5.6 from the vertical. A tourist stands 105 m from its base, with the tower leaning directly toward her. She measures the angle of elevation to the top of the tower to be 29.2. Find the length of the tower to the nearest meter.
Gina is standing near a building and notices that the angle of elevation to the top of the building is 68. She then walks 72 feet further away from the building and notices that the angle of elevation to the top of the building is now only 51.

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). (a) How long is the guy wire? (b) How far from the base of the tower is the guy wire anchored to the ground?
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.
Radio Antenna A short-wave radio antenna is supported by two guy wires, 165 ft and 180 ft long. Each wire is attached to the top of the antenna and anchored to the ground at two anchor points on opposite sides of the antenna. The shorter wire makes an angle of 67 with the ground. How far apart are the anchor points?
