19. Finding a side

20. Ex.
A surveyor is standing 50 feet from the base of a large tree. The surveyor measures the angle of elevation to the top of the tree as 71.5°. How tall is the tree?
tan 71.5° ?
tan 71.5°
71.5°
y = 50 (tan 71.5°) 50
y = 50 ( )

21. Ex. 5
A person is 200 yards from a river. Rather than walk directly to the river, the person walks along a straight path to the river’s edge at a 60° angle. How far must the person walk to reach the river’s edge?
cos 60°
x (cos 60°) = 200
200
60° x x
X = 400 yards
