- Angle of Depression A cellular telephone tower that is 120 feet tall is placed on top of a mountain that is 1200 feet above sea level. What is the angle of depression from the top of the tower to a cell phone user who is 5 horizontal miles away and 400 feet above sea level?arrow_forwardGeometry A trough for feeding cattle is 4 meters long and its cross sections are isosceles triangles with the two equal sides being 12 meter (see figure). The angle between the two sides is . (a) Write the volume of the trough as a function of /2. (b) Write the volume of the trough as a function of and determine the value of such that the volume is maximized.arrow_forwardForce The force F (in pounds) on a person’s back when he or she bends over at an angle from an upright position is modeled by F=0.6Wsin+90sin12 where W represents the person’s weight (in pounds). (a) Simplify the model. (b) Use a graphing utility to graph the model, where W=185and090. (c) At what angle is the force maximized? At what angle is the force minimized?arrow_forward
