Weekly Math Problem #54

Angle of Elevation. I like trigonometry, actually. One of the reasons I can vibe with trig is due to the diagrams. Oh the diagrams! 🤩 I am super visual and being able to see the situation/scenario, the givens, and what is being asked for is huge for me. I'm not saying that my diagrams look good when I draw them. That's not what I am saying. I am, by no means, an artist but, I like to draw the diagrams, no matter how bad they look. 

To solve this week's problem in completion, you need to recall the following math skills:

        ✔️     How to draw diagrams
        ✔️     Trigonometric functions
        ✔️     How to round numbers

Here is what WMP! #54 says...

Happy solving!

Check back on Friday, June 18th for the solution, which will be posted below ⬇️.

Let's start by drawing the scenario presented in the problem. I'm not an artist, by any means...

Now that I can see what we're working with, I feel more comfortable solving the problem. The scenario can be outlined with a right triangle, as I did in grey. With this, I rely on SOH-CAH-TOA to help me with answering both questions presented in the problem...particularly SOH and CAH.

That's all, folks! 👍🏿 Just a note...The way I solved the second part isn't the only way it can be done.
