Identification
1.) A jet takes off bearing N 28º E and flies 5 miles and then makes a left turn and flies 12
miles farther. If the control tower operator wants to locate
the plane, what bearing should he use?
2.) You are standing on top of a building, looking at park in the distance. The angle of
depression is 53°. If the building you are standing on is 100 feet
tall, how far away is the park?
3.) A guy wire supports a tower. The wire forms an angle of 57 degrees with level ground.
The wire is anchored to the ground 16.5m away from the
base of the tower. How long is the guy wire?
4.) A ladder 40 feet long may be so placed that it will reach a window 33 feet high on one
side of the street, and by turning it over without moving its foot it will reach a window 21
feet high on the other side. Find the breadth of the street.
5.) A telephone pole 30 ft high is to be guyed from its middle section with a guy wire making
an angle of 45 degrees with the ground. Find the total length of the guy wire if an additional
three feet is to be provided for splicing.
6.) If the flagpole that a golfer aims at on a green measures 5 feet from the ground to the
top of the flag and a golfer measures a 1° angle from top to
bottom, how far (in horizontal distance) is the golfer from the flag?
7.) A 100 ft. building casts a 300 ft. shadow from the sun. What is the angle of depression?
8.) The perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 100 cm. If the base is 36 cm, find the length of
the equal sides.
9.) Find the area of the triangle given that a = 5 m , b = 7 m and c = 10 m.
10.) The area of the triangle is 8,346 sq m and two of its interior angles are 37° 25’ and 56°
17’. What is the length of the largest side?
11.) A boat leaves the entrance to a harbor and travels 25 miles on a bearing of N 42° E.
The captain then turns the boat 90° clockwise and travels 18 miles on a bearing of S 48° E.
What is the distance of the boat from the harbor entrance after the duration of its travel?
12.) In triangle PQR shown, find the lengths of PQ and QR. See Figure 2
13.) Farmer Jones owns a triangular piece of land. The length of the fence AB is 150 m. The
length of the fence BC is 231 m. The angle between fence
AB and fence BC is 123º. How much land does Farmer Jones own?
14.) In designing a house an architect wishes to determine the amount of overhang of a roof
so that it shades the entire south wall at noon during the
summer solstice when the angle of elevation of the sun is 81° as shown in the figure.
Minimally, how much overhang should be provided for this
purpose?See Figure 1
