- Viewing Angle of a Tower A 380-ft-tall building supports a 40-ft communications tower see the figure. As a driver approaches the building, the viewing angle of the tower changes. a.Express the viewing angle as a function of the distance x between the driver and the building. b.At what distance from the building is the viewing angle as large as possible?arrow_forwardHeight of the Space Shuttle An observer views the space shuttle from a distance of 2 mi from the launch pad. a Express the height of the space shuttle as a function of the angle of elevation . b Express the angle of elevation as a function of the height h of the space shuttle.arrow_forwardRoad Grade A straight road rises with an inclination of 0.2 radian from the horizontal.
