Chapter 8: Q. 62 (page 517)

A straight trail with an inclination of 17掳 leads from a hotel at an elevation of 9000 feet to a mountain lake at an elevation of 11,200 feet. What is the length of the trail?

Short Answer

Expert verified

So, the length of the trail is 7196.59 feet.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

Given that a straight trail with an inclination of 17掳 leads from a hotel at an elevation of 9000 feet to a mountain lake at an elevation of 11,200 feet.

02

Solution

We have to find the length of the trail.

We can draw a figure of the given problem as: -

We have to find the x.

In 鈻�ABC

tan(C)=ABBCtan(C)脳BC=ABBC=ABtan(C)x=2200tan(17掳)x=22000.3057x=7196.59feet

So the length of the trail is 7196.59 feet

03

Final Answer

So, the length of the trail is 7196.59 feet.

A camera is mounted on a tripod 4 feet high at a distance of 10 feet from George, who is 6 feet tall. See the illustration. If the camera lens has angles of depression and elevation of 20掳, will George鈥檚 feet and head be seen by the lens? If not, how far back will the camera need to be moved to include George鈥檚 feet and head?

Correcting a Navigational Error A sailboat leaves St. Thomas bound for an island in the British West Indies, 200 miles away. Maintaining a constant speed of 18 miles per hour, but encountering heavy crosswinds and strong currents, the crew finds after 4 hours that the sailboat is off course by 15掳.

(a) How far is the sailboat from the island at this time?

(b) Through what angle should the sailboat turn to correct its course?

(c) How much time has been added to the trip because of this? (Assume that the speed remains at 18 miles per hour.)

Distance to the Moon At exactly the same time, Tom and Alice measured the angle of elevation to the moon while standing exactly 300 km apart. The angle of elevation to

the moon for Tom was 49.8974掳 and the angle of elevation to the moon for Alice was 49.9312掳. See the figure. To the nearest 1000 km, how far was the moon from Earth when

the measurement was obtained?

Constructing a Highway A highway whose primary directions are north-south is being constructed along the west coast of Florida. Near Naples, a bay obstructs the straight path of the road. Since the cost of a bridge is prohibitive, engineers decide to go around the bay. The illustration shows the path that they decide on and the measurements taken. What is the length of highway needed to go around the bay?

A blimp, suspended in the air at a height of 500 feet, lies directly over a line from Soldier Field to the Adler Planetarium on Lake Michigan (see the figure). If the angle of depression from the blimp to the stadium is 32掳 and from the blimp to the planetarium is 23掳, find the distance between Soldier Field and the Adler Planetarium.
