Question 6 1 pt 1 2
The path of a satellite orbiting the earth causes it to pass directly over two tracking stations A and
B, which are 65 mi apart. When the satellite is on one side of the two stations, the angles of
elevation at A and B are measured to be 86.3° and 83.3°, respectively.
83.3° 86.3°
B A
NOTE: The picture is NOT drawn to scale.
How far is the satellite from station A?
distance from A = mi
How high is the satellite above the ground?
height = mi

Question 7 1 pt 1 2
To estimate the height of a building, a student finds the angle of elevation from a point (at
ground level) down the street from the building to the top of the building is 30 . From a point
∘
that is 350 feet closer to the building, the angle of elevation (at ground level) to the top of the
building is 56 . If we assume that the street is level, use this information to estimate the height of
∘
the building.
Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
The height of the building is feet.
