What is the distance from [latex]A[\/latex] to [latex]B[\/latex], rounded to the nearest whole meter?<\/p>\n

69. A man and a woman standing [latex]3\\frac{1}{2}[\/latex] miles apart spot a hot air balloon at the same time. If the angle of elevation from the man to the balloon is 27\u00b0, and the angle of elevation from the woman to the balloon is 41\u00b0, find the altitude of the balloon to the nearest foot.<\/p>\n

70.\u00a0Two search teams spot a stranded climber on a mountain. The first search team is 0.5 miles from the second search team, and both teams are at an altitude of 1 mile. The angle of elevation from the first search team to the stranded climber is 15\u00b0. The angle of elevation from the second search team to the climber is 22\u00b0. What is the altitude of the climber? Round to the nearest tenth of a mile.<\/p>\n

71. A street light is mounted on a pole. A 6-foot-tall man is standing on the street a short distance from the pole, casting a shadow. The angle of elevation from the tip of the man\u2019s shadow to the top of his head of 28\u00b0. A 6-foot-tall woman is standing on the same street on the opposite side of the pole from the man. The angle of elevation from the tip of her shadow to the top of her head is 28\u00b0. If the man and woman are 20 feet apart, how far is the street light from the tip of the shadow of each person? Round the distance to the nearest tenth of a foot.<\/p>\n

72.\u00a0Three cities, [latex]A,B[\/latex], and [latex]C[\/latex], are located so that city [latex]A[\/latex] is due east of city [latex]B[\/latex]. If city [latex]C[\/latex] is located 35\u00b0 west of north from city [latex]B[\/latex] and is 100 miles from city [latex]A[\/latex] and 70 miles from city [latex]B[\/latex], how far is city [latex]A[\/latex] from city [latex]B?[\/latex] Round the distance to the nearest tenth of a mile.<\/p>\n

73. Two streets meet at an 80\u00b0 angle. At the corner, a park is being built in the shape of a triangle. Find the area of the park if, along one road, the park measures 180 feet, and along the other road, the park measures 215 feet.<\/p>\n

75. The Bermuda triangle is a region of the Atlantic Ocean that connects Bermuda, Florida, and Puerto Rico. Find the area of the Bermuda triangle if the distance from Florida to Bermuda is 1030 miles, the distance from Puerto Rico to Bermuda is 980 miles, and the angle created by the two distances is 62\u00b0.<\/p>\n

76.\u00a0A yield sign measures 30 inches on all three sides. What is the area of the sign?<\/p>\n

77. Naomi bought a modern dining table whose top is in the shape of a triangle. Find the area of the table top if two of the sides measure 4 feet and 4.5 feet, and the smaller angles measure 32\u00b0 and 42\u00b0.
