A ramp has an angle of elevation of 4.8° and a rise of 1.20 m, as shown at the left. How long is the ramp and what is its run? Round your answers to the nearest hundredth of a metre.
Surveyors need to determine the width of a river. Explain how they can do this without crossing the river. Use a diagram to illustrate your answer.
Jane is on the fifth floor of an office building 16 m above the ground. She spots her car and estimates that it is parked 20 m from the base of the building. Determine the angle of depression to the nearest degree.
A pilot who is heading due north spots two forest fires. The fire that is due east is at an angle of depression of 47°. The fire that is due west is at an angle of depression of 38°. What is the distance between the two fires, to the nearest metre, if the altitude of the airplane is 2400 m?
