From the top of a 45-m high building, an observer sees a car heading toward the building at an angle of depression of 15°. After some time, the angle of elevation to the car is 30°. What is the distance that the car has travelled? Express your answer to the nearest meter.
From Point S, Samantha uses a clinometer to determine the angle of elevation to the top of the cliff as 35°. Hasan standing at point H, is 65 m away from Samantha and estimates the angle between the base of the cliff, himself and Samantha to be 53°. Samantha estimates the angle between the base of the cliff, herself and her classmate Hasan to be 45°. What is the height of the cliff, TB, to the nearest metre?
A certain rock rises almost straight upward from the valley floor. From one point, the angle of elevation of the top of the rock is 18.4 degrees. From a point 165 m closer to the rock, the angle of elevation of the top of the rock is 25.1 degrees . How high is the rock?
