Section 4.3


Note: Just do part (a). Based on the picture, I will then endeavor to do parts (b) and (c).

a.

b.
h=tan(<ABC)*(132+3)
h=tan(<ABC)*135

c.
In small triangle the tan <ABC = 6/3 = 2
in big triangle the tan < ABC = h/(135)

then h = 2 * 135ft = 270 ft

I wanted to solve the problems based on the diagram but thanks. Now I don't need to worry about it.
