You are visiting a redwood tree forest and want to verify the height of one of the trees. you measure its shadow along the ground and use trig to calculate the height.
the shadow measures 500 feet and you calculate the angle of elevation to be $\footnotesize{35^{\circ}}$. this forms a right triangle.
a. what is the measure of the other acute angle?
b. what is the height of the tree?
c. you are standing at the end of the tree's shadow and want to take a picture of the tree but your camera can only focus at distance less than 500 feet. when you hold the camera to take the picture it is 5 feet above the ground. what is the distance from the end of the shadow to the top of the tree?
d. can you take a clear picture of the top of the tree from where you are standing?

Suppose that 3% of all athletes are using the endurance-enhancing hormone epo (you should be able to simply compute the percentage of all athletes that are not using epo). for our purposes, a “positive” test result is one that indicates presence of epo in an athlete’s bloodstream. the probability of a positive result, given the presence of epo is .99. the probability of a negative result, when epo is not present, is .90. what is the probability that a randomly selected athlete tests positive for epo? 0.0297
