Chapter 8: Q. 44 (page 528)

Construction A loading ramp 10 feet long that makes an angle of 18掳 with the horizontal is to be replaced by one that makes an angle of 12掳 with the horizontal. How long is the

new ramp?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The new ramp is 14.86 feet long.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given Information

A 10 ft loading ramp makes an 18鈭�angle with the horizontal. It is being replaced by a loading ramp which makes localid="1649067956170" 12鈭�angle with the horizontal.

Uselocalid="1649067960386" sinAa=sinBb=sinCc

02

Step 2. Find the angle which completes the line 

胃+18=180胃=162鈭�

03

Step 3. Finding length of ramp

By using

sin162l=sin1210l脳sin12=10脳sin162l=10脳sin162sin12=14.86feet

While taking a ride in a hot-air balloon in Napa Valley, Francisco wonders how high he is. To find out, he chooses a landmark that is to the east of the balloon and measures the angle of depression to be 54掳. A few minutes later, after traveling 100 feet east, the angle of depression to the same landmark is determined to be 61掳. Use this information to determine the height of the balloon.

The Original Ferris Wheel George Washington Gale Ferris, Jr., designed the original Ferris wheel for the 1893 World鈥檚 Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois. The wheel had 36 equally spaced cars each the size of a school bus. The distance between adjacent cars was approximately 22 feet. Determine the diameter of the wheel to the nearest

foot.

Logan is playing on her swing. One full swing (front to back to front) takes 6 seconds and at the peak of her swing she is at an angle of 42掳with the vertical. If her swing is 5 feet long, and we ignore all resistive forces, build a model that relates her horizontal displacement (from the rest position) after time t.

Calculating Distances at Sea The navigator of a ship at sea spots two lighthouses that she knows to be 3 miles apart along a straight seashore.
