Get started for freeDistance to the Moon At exactly the same time, Tom and Alice measured the angle of elevation to the moon while standing exactly 300 km apart. The angle of elevation to
the moon for Tom was 49.8974ยฐ and the angle of elevation to the moon for Alice was 49.9312ยฐ. See the figure. To the nearest 1000 km, how far was the moon from Earth when
the measurement was obtained?
Finding Distances A forest ranger is walking on a path inclined at 5ยฐ to the horizontal directly toward a 100-foottall fire observation tower. The angle of elevation from the
path to the top of the tower is 40ยฐ. How far is the ranger from the tower at this time?
Mercury The distance from the Sun to Earth is approximately 149,600,000 kilometers (km). The distance from the Sun to Mercury is approximately 57,910,000 km. The elongation angle a is the angle formed between the line of sight from Earth to the Sun and the line of sight from Earth to Mercury. See the figure. Suppose that the elongation angle for Mercury is 15ยฐ. Use this information to find the possible distances between Earth and Mercury.
