Question 5
A math student is standing 25 feet from the base
of the Washington Monument. The angle of
elevation from her horizontal line of sight is 87.4∘.
If her “eye height” is 5 ft from the ground.
Find the height of the monument?
In the answer you should include .
  Identify the factors that will help you height of the monument.
 Sketch a suitable diagram to show the diagram.
 Select the correct mathematical strategy to model the situation
 Apply the strategy to reach a correct solution
Once you find the correct mathematical justification for height of the monument,
make sure you then,
 Justify the degree of accuracy for your answer.

Question 7
The Leaning Tower of Piza currently “leans” at a 4
degrees angle and has a vertical height of
55.86 meters.
Sketch a suitable diagram to solve the question.
Calculate the height of the tower when it was
originally built?

Question 8

The diagram below shows the roof of a house. Suppose

you need to replace a beam that connects the two sides
of the roof. How long should be beam be?

The beam is the horizontal line and its length is shown

with a red line. Notice that the sides of the roof have the
same length. Furthermore, since the two sides of the roof
make a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the
beam.
