B. Right angle problems.
1. A forester, 200 feet from the base of a redwood tree, observes that the angle between the ground and the top
of the tree is 600 . Estimate the height of the tree.
2. The peak of Mt. Fuji in Japan is approximately 12,400 feet high. A trigonometry student, several miles away,
notes that the angle between level ground and the peak is 300 . Estimate the distance from the student to the
point on level ground directly beneath the peak.
3. Stonehenge in Salisbury Plains, England, was constructed using solid stone blocks weighing over 99,000 pounds
each. Lifting a single stone required 550 people, who pulled the stone up a ramp inclined at an angle of 90 .
Approximate the distance that a stone was moved in order to raise it to a height of 30 feet.
4. The highest advertising sign in the world is a large letter I situated at the top of the 73-storey First Interstate
World Center building in Los Angeles. At a distance of 200 feet from a point directly below the sign, the angle
between the ground and the top of the sign is 78.870 . Approximate the height of the top of the sign.
C. Use Pythagorean identities to write the expression as an integer.
