Finding the Lean of the Leaning Tower of Pisa The famous Leaning Tower of Pisa was originally 184.5 feet high.* At a distance of 123 feet from the base of the tower, the angle
of elevation to the top of the tower is found to be 60°. Find RPQ indicated in the figure. Also, find the perpendicular distance from R to PQ.
Finding the Height of an Airplane An aircraft is spotted by two observers who are 1000 feet apart. As the airplane passes over the line joining them, each observer takes a
sighting of the angle of elevation to the plane, as indicated in the figure. How high is the airplane?
A person in a small boat, offshore from a vertical cliff known to be feet in height, takes a sighting of the top of the cliff. If the angle of elevation is found to be, how far offshore is the boat?
