Distance from the building 200 ft. angle of elevation 60 degrees

Find the height.

  • punkz_sha09 Feb 12, 2009

    this is the question.you must find the height of the radio station antenna that has been placed at the edge of town. You cannot clib the antenna to measure it; so you must do all your computations from the ground. you stand a distance of 200 feet from the base of the antenna, and you measure the angle of elevation to the top of the antenna tube 60 degrees.findthe height of the antenna.

A tree on a hillside casts a shadow 215 ft. down the hill.if the angle of inclination of the hillside is 22 degrees to the horizontal and the angle of elevation of the sun is 52 degrees ,find the height of...

x is the height of tree, y and z are as denoted in picture:

elessaelle_0.png
  1. cos(22°)=y/215==>y=cos(22°)*215=199.3 ft
  2. sin(22°)=z/215==>z=sin(22°)*215=80.5 ft
  3. tan(52°)=(x+z)/y==>x+z=y*tan(52°)=255.1 ft
  4. x=255.1-z=255.1-80.5=174.6 ft

From a point on the ground, a person notices a 110-foot antenna on the top of a hill subtends an angle of 1.5 deg. If the angle of elevation on the bottom of the antenna is 25 deg, find the height of the...

Draw one right-angle triangle:

D
C
/'
/ '
/ '
/ '
A===B

A = your location
B = bottom of the hill
C = bottom of the antenna
D = top of the antenna

The A-B distance is constant.
The B-C distance is unknown.
The B-C-D distance is unknown.
The C-D distance is given.
The C-A-B angle is given as 25 degrees.
The D-A-C angle is given as 1.5 degrees.

Use SINE and COSINE functions to determine the B-C distance.

An trigonometry wordproblem

Hi there,

Using the measurements you have given and calculating the others as follows:

Angle A= 30 degrees
Side b= 900 metres
Angle B= 60 degrees
Side b= 1558.845 metres

Therefore length of the slope = 1,800.0000000000002 metres (side c)

Hope this helps. Regards, James

Angle of alevation

height =50
length = 60
angle=x

tangent(x)=50/60
tangent(x)=0.833
x=39.8 degree
