When the sun is 20o above the horizon, how long is the shadow cast by a building 50m high?
Real-Life Problem on right triangle
Solution:
20o = 50m/s
tan
s = 50m/ tan20o s = 137.37 m
The shadow cast of a building is 137.37m long

A ladder leans against the side of the building with its foot 12ft from the building. How far from the ground is the top of the ladder and how long is the ladder if it makes an angle of 70o with the ground?
Real-Life Problem on right triangle
Solution: 70o =
h/12ft tan h= 12 tan70o
h = 32.97 ft.
The top of the ladder is 32.97 ft.
