Strategies to Solve Triangles
Example 1 - Construction A triangular roof has side lengths of 12 ft and 15 ft 9 in. I If the roof is 22 ft across, determine the height of the support beam required (y). 15 ft 9 in 12 ft y 22 ft
Example 2- Navigation The angle of elevation to the top C of a building from two points A and B on level ground are 50 degrees and 60 degrees respectively. The distance between points A and B is 30 meters. Points A, B and C are in the same vertical plane. Find the height h of the building
