Use the tangent ratio. height 125 tan 32° = height = 125 (tan 32°) Solve for height. Use a calculator. 125 32 78.108669 To measure the height of a tree, Alma walked 125 ft from the tree and measured a 32° angle from the ground to the top of the tree. Estimate the height of the tree. The tree forms a right angle with the ground, so you can use the tangent ratio to estimate the height of the tree. The tree is about 78 ft tall.

Use the cosine ratio. height = 20 • cos 35° Solve for height. Use a calculator. height 20 cos 35° = 20 35 16.383041 A 20-ft. wire supporting a flagpole forms a 35˚ angle with the flagpole. To the nearest foot, how high is the flagpole? The flagpole, wire, and ground form a right triangle with the wire as the hypotenuse. Because you know an angle and the measures of its adjacent side and the hypotenuse, you can use the cosine ratio to find the height of the flagpole. The flagpole is about 16 ft tall.

A right triangle has a leg 1.5 units long and hypotenuse 4.0 units long. Find the measures of its acute angles to the nearest degree. Draw a diagram using the information given. Use the inverse of the cosine function to find m A. 1.5 4.0 cos A = = 0.375 Use the cosine ratio. Use a calculator. Use the inverse of the cosine. m A = cos–1(0.375) Round to the nearest degree. 0.375 67.975687 m A 68
(continued) To find m B, use the fact that the acute angles of a right triangle are complementary. m A + m B = 90 Definition of complementary angles 68 + m B 90 Substitute. mB 22 The acute angles, rounded to the nearest degree, measure 68 and 22.
Find m R to the nearest degree. 47 41 tan R = Find the tangent ratio. 47 41 Use the inverse of the tangent. 47 41 Use a calculator. 48.900494 m R tan–1 So m R 49.
