An aerial photograph from a U-2 spy plane is taken of a building suspected of housing nuclear warheads. When the photograph is taken, the angle of elevation of the sun is 43 degrees. By comparing the shadow cast by the building in question to the shadows of other objects of known size in the photograph, scientists determine that the shadow of the building in question is 64 feet long. How tall is the bulding? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
A small, experimental aluminum airplane leaves its classified location on a fogsy and overcast day, and is later acidentally sighted 215 km away, moving in a direction making an angle of 22° east of due north. This means that the direction is not due north (directly toward the north) but is rotated 22° toward the east from due north. How far east and north is the airplane from its classified staring point when it is sighted? please include the procedure.
