Exam Review

Here are some trig questions that we did today.





Question: You are a passenger on a train that is travelling west through the Rocky Mountains.  At one point you notice a mountain directly to the north of you (bearing of 0°) with its peak at an angle of elevation of 42°.  After the train moves for 800m, the mountain is at a bearing of 30°.  How tall is the mountain?


Question: A rock concert takes place on a circular stage where the audience can stand around and watch from all directions.  The main platform of the stage is 3m above the audience.  The lead singer sees her ex-husband due South at an angle of depression of 36°.  Her son is at a S50°E and an angle of depression of 24° degrees.  Has the ex-husband violated his 100m restraining order from the son?
