  1. 1.8 Applications and Models

  2. Solving a Right Triangle A c b 19.4 32.2 C B a Solve

  3. Finding a side of a Right Triangle • A safety regulation states that the maximum angle of elevation for a rescue ladder is 72. A fire department’s longest ladder is 110 feet. What is the maximum safe rescue height? 110 ft a 72

  4. A point 200 feet from the base of a building, the angle of elevation to the bottom of the smoke stack is 35, where as the angle of elevation to the top is 53. Find the height of the smoke stack.

  5. A swimming pool is 20 meters long and 12 meters wide. The bottom of the pool is slanted so that the water depth is 1.3 meters at the shallow end and 4 meters at the deep end. Find the angle of depression of the bottom of the pool.

  6. Bearings • Bearings measures the ACUTE angle that a path or line of sight makes with a fixed NORTH-SOUTH line. • S35W • N80W • N45E

  7. Find direction in terms of bearings • A ship leaves port at noon and heads due west at 20 knots, (or nautical miles per hour). At 2PM the ship changes course to N54W. Find the ship’s bearing and distance from the port of departure at 3pm.

  8. How many nautical miles south and how many nautical miles west will the ship have traveled by 6pm? • At 6:00pm the ship changes course to due west. Find the ship’s bearing and distance from the port of departure at 7pm • A ship leaves port at noon and has a bearing of S29W. The ship sails at 20 knots.

  9. A surveyor wants to find the distance across a swamp. The bearing from A to B is N32W. The surveyor walks 50 meters from A, and at the point C the bearing to B is N68 W. Find the bearing from A to C and the distance from A to B.

  10. A ship is 45 miles east and 30 miles south of port. The captain wants to sail directly to port. What bearing should be taken?
