I need help on this problem: You are one block away from a skyscraper that is 780 feet tall. Your friend is between the skyscraper and yourself. The angle of elevation from your position to the top of the skyscraper is 42 degrees. The angle of elevation from your friend's position to the top of the skyscraper is 71 degrees. How far are you from your friend? Express your answer using the correct number of significant figures.

Use your calculator to determine ( √ 6 )3 to three significant figures in two ways. Find √6 to four significant figures; then cube this number and round to three significant figures. Find √6 to to three significant figures; then cube this number and round to three significant figures. Which answer is more accurate? the first or second?
Suppose you take a trip that covers 180 km and takes 3 hours to make. Use the appropriate unit conversions to determine your average speed in miles per hour. (Recall 1 km = 1000 m, 1 m = 3.3 ft, 5280 ft = 1 mile).
A new physics unit of distance is created and called the Zarkov. A student informs you 1 Zarkov (1 Za) is exactly equivalent to 8 inches. Convert 4.44 × 10 5 Z a 3 m i n u t e 2to m 3 h r 2. If hard to read: asking you to convert Zarkov's squared over minutes cubed to meters squared over hours cubed. Answer in E notation without units in the box. I am assuming your output units are m 3 h r 2. Note: for some numbers the computer will convert your E notion to another notation without the E...that will not cost you points. To be clear regarding E notation, I will provide an example of what I'm talking about:
