2. An A-frame lake house is 21 feet wide. If the roof of the home makes a angle
with the base of the home, what is the length of the house from ground level to the peak
of the roof? Round final answer to the nearest foot.

A. A man at ground level measures the angle of elevation to the top of a building to be
. If, at this point, he is 15 feet from the building, what is the height of the building?
Draw a picture, show all work, and find the solution. Round to the nearest hundredths.
B. The same man now stands atop a building. He measures the angle of elevation to the
building across the street to be and the angle of depression (to the base of the
building) to be . If the two buildings are 50 feet apart, how tall is the taller building?
See the following figure. Round to the nearest hundredths.
5. A weather balloon B lies directly over a 1500-meter airstrip extending from A to C.
The angle of elevation from A to B is and from C to B is (Larson, Hostetler,
Edwards, 2005).
Find the distances from A to B and from C to B. Show all work to receive full credit.
Round to the nearest hundredths.
