7 4.3 Applications of the Tangent Ratio Lesson Handout Example 1 Jenna goes on an exciting airplane ride. She takes off at a 25 angle and continues flying in a perfectly straight path until she is directly over her house, as shown. She notices that her altitude when directly over her house is 3,200 feet. What distance has she flown? Example 2 Carl decides to use what he has learned about trigonometry to help him find the height of his favorite tree. At a certain time of day, he measures the tree s shadow with a tape measure and finds that it is 31 feet long. Then he measures the angle of elevation to the sun using a clinometer and finds that the sun s rays are striking at a 62 angle with the ground. (The angle that the sun s rays make as they strike an object determines the length of the object s shadow.) Use the information and what you know about trigonometry to calculate the height of the tree. 7
