A surveyor measures the angle of elevation to the top of a building to be 30 degrees. If the distance from the surveyor to the base of the building is 100 meters, what is the height of the building?
A ship is sailing at a speed of 15 knots (nautical miles per hour). If the ship changes course by 45 degrees, what is the new direction of travel?
A pilot is flying an airplane at an altitude of 30,000 feet. If the pilot wants to descend to an altitude of 20,000 feet while maintaining a constant angle of descent of 10 degrees, what is the horizontal distance traveled by the airplane?
A radio tower is 100 meters tall. If the angle of elevation from a point on the ground to the top of the tower is 30 degrees, what is the horizontal distance between the point and the base of the tower?
