  1. Right Triangle Applications Using your knowledge of Trig Functions. Work on the following problems in class

  2. TaskApply trigonometric functions of sin, cos, and tan, along with the Pythagorean theorem to solve the following problems. Include sketches. 1. From the top of a vertical cliff 164 meters above the water, the angle of depression to a boat is 85o 50. How far away is the boat from the foot of the cliff? Round to the nearest meter.

  3. Using Trig • The angle of elevation to the top of a radio tower is 34o 20 from a point 270 meters from the foot of the tower. How high is the tower? Round to the nearest meter.

  4. Using Trig A rectangular piece of sheet metal is 12 cm by 19 cm. Find the angle the diagonal makes with the longer side. Round to the nearest tenth of a degree.

  5. B A Using Trig The drawing shows a triple jump on a checkerboard, starting at the center of square A and ending on the center of square B. Each side of a square measures 4.0 cm. What is the magnitude of the displacement of the black checker during the triple jump?

  6. Using Trig A highway is to be built between two towns, one of which lies 35.0 km south and 72.0 km west of the other. What is the shortest length of highway that can be built between the two towns, and at what angle would this highway be directed with respect to due west?

  7. Using Trig • A chimpanzee sitting against his favorite tree gets up and walks 51 m due east and 39 m due south to reach a termite mound, where he eats lunch. • What is the shortest distance between the tree and the termite mound? • What angle is made between this distance and due east?

  8. Homework Finish the problems in Chapter 1 on trig as well as the worksheet on the Physics Website.
