Tom wants to reach a second floor window on a house that is 20 feet above ground. if he must put the ladder at a 70 degree angle to the ground, how long must the ladder be? sue wants to determine the height of a tree indirectly. it's shadow is 15 feet when she is at 48 degrees angle of elevation with the sun that is behind the tree

Data for the height of a model rocket launch in the air over time are shown in the table. darryl predicted that the height of the rocket at 8 seconds would be about 93 meters. did darryl make a good prediction? yes, the data are best modeled by a quadratic function. the value of the function at 8 seconds is about 93 meters. yes, the data are best modeled by a linear function. the first differences are constant, so about 93 meters at 8 seconds is reasonable. no, the data are exponential. a better prediction is 150 meters. no, the data are best modeled by a cubic function. a better prediction is 100 meters.

Find the measure for the angle indicated in bold

Atourist boat is used for sightseeing in a nearby river. the boat travels 2.4 miles downstream and in the same amount of time, it travels 1.8 miles upstream. if the boat travels at an average speed of 21 miles per hour in the still water, find the current of the river.
