WPP #12: Unit O Concept 10: Solving angle of elevation and depression word problems

Christine and Jessica wanted to promote their newly open clothing shop. In order for potential customers to see the shop they decided to put a banner on the top of the clothing shop. Jessica is standing away from the building to check on the sign. The angle of elevation is 25.25 degress from jessica to the top where Christine is at. IF the base of the building is 350 ft from Jessic how high is the building?


After finishing up with the sign Christine wanted to use the latter down. She estimated the angle of depression of 30 degress at where she is now to where Christine is at. She is 200 ft higher than the base of the building. How long is her way down the building?
