    Section 4.3


    Note: Just do part (a). Based on the picture, I will then endeavor to do parts (b) and (c).

    a.

    b.
    h=tan(<ABC)*(132+3)
    h=tan(<ABC)*135

    c.
    In small triangle the tan <ABC = 6/3 = 2
    in big triangle the tan < ABC = h/(135)

    then h = 2 * 135ft = 270 ft

    I wanted to solve the problems based on the diagram but thanks. Now I don't need to worry about it.
