WPP #12: Unit O Concept 10: Angles of elevation and depression.

REMINDER! YOU HAVE TO TRY THE PROBLEMS YOURSELF AND THEN LOOK AT THE PICTURES TO CHECK! HAVE INTEGRITY!
A) Mr. Q decided that he was going to visit Antarctica. While he was down there he decided that he was going to stand on this mound of snow to look up at a group of penguins on a cliff. This meant that he was looking up at the top of the cliff from 5 feet off the ground. The base of the cliff was 180 feet away from his precious mound of snow and the cliff was 103 feet tall. What is his angle of elevation from eye level of Mr. Q? (Round to the nearest hundredth)




B) After that Mr. Q continued his adventure through the Artic. Mr. Q decided that he was going to stand up on a hill and look down at a group of penguins by the ocean of ice. His angle of depression was estimated to be about 37*. The path down the hill to the spot by the icy sea is 240 feet. How tall is the cliff that he is standing on? (Round to the nearest hundredth)
