Angle of elevation and depression

A helicopter is hovering at an altitude of 250 metres. The angle of elevation from the helipad to
the helicopter is 35°. Find the horizontal distance of the helicopter from the helipad, to the
nearest centimetre.

A bird is hovering at an altitude of 100 m. The angle of elevation from the observation point to
the bird is 55°. Find the horizontal distance of the bird from the observation point, to the nearest
centimetre.

Two vertical buildings 57 metres apart are 158 metres and 237 metres high. Find the angle of
elevation from the top of the shorter building to the top of the taller building, correct to two
decimal places.

Two vertical poles 32 metres apart are 62 metres and 79 metres high. Find the angle of elevation
from the top of the shorter pole to the top of the taller pole, correct to two decimal places.

The altitude of an aeroplane is 500 metres, and the angle of elevation from the runway to the
aeroplane is 15°. Find the horizontal distance from the aeroplane to the runway, to the nearest
centimetre.

The distance between two buildings is 24.5 metres. Find the height of the taller building, to the
nearest metre, if the angle of elevation from the top of the shorter building to the top of the taller
building is 85° and the height of the shorter building is 40 m.

The angle of depression from one mountain summit to another is 15.9°. If the two mountains
differ in height by 430 metres, find the horizontal distance between the two summits, to the
nearest centimetre.

Two vertical buildings positioned 91 metres apart are 136 metres and 192 metres tall,
respectively. Find the angle of elevation from the top of the shorter building to the top of the
taller building, to the nearest degree.
