Distance to the moon To find the distance to the sun as in Exercise 67, we needed to know the distance to the moon. Here is a way to estimate the distance When the moon is seen at its zenith at a point A on the earth, it is observed to be at the horizon from point B see the following figure. Points A and B are 6155 mi apart, and the radius of the earth is 3960 mi. a Find the angle in degree. b Estimate the distance from point A to the moon.
Circumference of the Earth The Greek mathematician Eratosthenes ca.276-195 B.C. measured the circumference of the earth from the following observations. He noticed that on a certain day the sun shone directly down a deep well in Syene modern Aswan. At the same time in Alexandria, 500 miles north on the same meridian, the rays of the sun shone at an angle of 7.2 to the zenith. Use this information and the figure to find the radius and circumference of the earth.
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.
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.)
Angle of Elevation A man standing near a building notices that the angle of elevation to the top of the building is 64. He then walks 240 ft farther away from the building and finds the angle of elevation to the top to be 43. How tall is the building?
Height of a Tower A water tower is located 325 ft from a building see the figure. From a window in the building, an observer notes that the angle of elevation to the top of the tower is 39 and that the angle of depression to the bottom of the tower is 25. How tall is the tower? How high is the window?
Take this test as you would take a test in class. When you are finished, check your work against the answers given in the back of the book. Consider an angle that measures 54 radians. (a) Sketch the angle in standard position. (b) Determine two coterminal angles (one positive and one negative). (c) Convert the radian measure to degree measure.
Height of Cloud Cover To measure the height of the cloud cover at an airport, a worker shines a spotlight upward at an angle 75 from the horizontal. An observer 600 m away measures the angle of elevation to the spot of light to be 45. Find the height h of the cloud cover.
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.
Circumference Formula Use C= or C=2r where C= circumference = 3.1416 if not using a calculator d= diameter r= radius The flywheel of a machine has a and revolves 240.0 times per minute. How many meters does a point on the outside of the rim travel in 5.0 minutes? Round the answer to the nearest whole meter.
Leaning Ladder A 20-ft ladder is leaning against a building. If the base of the ladder is 6 ft from the base of the building, what is the angle of elevation of the ladder? How high does the ladder reach on the building?
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.)
