6. Geometry Mini-Lesson A cell phone tower is 300 feet tall and is surrounded by a fence that is 100 feet from the base of the tower. Alex is trying to reach the fence and is located at a point on level ground where his line of sight to the top of the tower makes a 20° angle with the ground, as shown in the figure. What is the straight-line distance that Alex has to walk to the nearest foot. • 725 • 825 • 724 • 824 MA.912.T.2.1: Define and use the trigonometric ratios (sine, cosine, tangent) in terms of angles of right triangles.

7. Geometry Mini-Lesson A cliff that is 90 feet high has a beach at its base that is approximately 50 feet wide. Sarah is on a boat in the ocean and wants to determine the distance from her boat to the water's edge of the beach, as shown in the figure. The angle of elevation from Sarah's boat to the top of the cliff is 17°. What is the distance from Sarah's boat to the water's edge just below the cliff to the nearest foot? • 194 • 204 • 294 • 244 MA.912.T.2.1: Define and use the trigonometric ratios (sine, cosine, tangent) in terms of angles of right triangles.

8. Geometry Mini-Lesson Barry (B) is standing at the edge of the top of a 50 foot building and is looking down at his friend Eric (E) who is standing at the edge of the top of a 20 foot building, as shown in the figure. If the angle of depression from Barry to Eric is 38°, which of the following best represents the distance d between the two buildings correct to the nearest foot? • 23 feet • 38 feet • 49 feet • 64 feet MA.912.T.2.1: Define and use the trigonometric ratios (sine, cosine, tangent) in terms of angles of right triangles.

10. Geometry Mini-Lesson A tackle shop and restaurant are located on the shore of a lake and are 32 meters (m) apart. A boat on the lake heading toward the tackle shop is a distance of 77 meters from the tackle shop. This situation is shown in the diagram, where point T represents the location of the tackle shop, point R represents the location of the restaurant, and point B represents the location of the boat. The driver of the boat wants to change direction to sail toward the restaurant. Which of the following is closest to the value of x?
