TASK 6.5

Give answers in this task to 1 decimal place when appropriate.

1. Bao Yu is standing 90 m from the foot of a flagpole. The flagpole is 11 m


tall. What is the angle of elevation of the top of the flagpole from Bao Yu?
2. Rosa is standing on the top of a hill looking down at her village. The angle of
depression of the top of her house is 7!. If she is 163 m higher than the top of her
house, what is the horizontal distance of Rosa from her house?

3. Geir is standing on top of a castle, 29 m tall. A friend is standing on the ground below,
70 m from the base of the castle. What is the angle of depression of the friend from
Geir?
Soh

4. A camera is placed on a table to sin = o/h


3m sin 5 = (28-1.2=26.8)/h
film a church. The angle of elevation
= 307m
from the camera to the top of a
flagpole on the church tower is 5!.
Using the measurements shown, 25 m

what is the horizontal distance
from the flagpole to the camera? 1·2 m

5. The angle of elevation of a bird from an observation point on the ground is 6·7!. cos 6.7 = 230/h
= 231.6

how high is the bird above the observation point?
tan 8 = o/405

6. The angles of elevation of the front tan 11==56.9


o/512
= 99.5
