    Application Problems
    ::应用问题

    When solving word problems, it is important to understand the terminology used to describe angles. In trigonometric problems, the terms angle of elevation and angle of depression are commonly used. Both of these angles are always measured from a horizontal line as shown in the diagrams below.
    ::在解决字词问题时,必须理解用来描述角度的术语。在三角问题中,通常使用高高角度和低压角度这两个术语。这两个角度总是从水平线测量,如下图所示。

    Let's solve the following problems.
    ::让我们解决以下的问题。

    1. An airplane approaching an airport spots the runway at an angle of depression of 25 . If the airplane is 15,000 ft above the ground, how far (ground distance) is the plane from the runway? Give your answer to the nearest 100 ft.
      ::接近机场的一架飞机将跑道置于25英尺的压抑度角。如果飞机在地面上方15000英尺,则飞机离跑道有多远(地面距离)?请回答最近的100英尺。

    Make a diagram to illustrate the situation described and then use a trigonometric ratio to solve. Keep in mind that an angle of depression is down from a horizontal line of sight-in this case a horizontal line from the pilot of the plane parallel to the ground.
    ::绘制一个图表来说明描述的情况, 然后使用三角比来解决问题。 请注意, 压抑的角度是从水平的视线向下, 在此情况下, 从平面的飞行员到地面的平行水平线 。

    Note that the angle of depression and the alternate interior angle will be congruent, so the angle in the triangle is also 25 .
    ::请注意,低音角和内部其他角度是相同的, 所以三角形中的角度也是 25 。

    From the picture, we can see that we should use the tangent ratio to find the ground distance.
    ::从画面中,我们可以看到,我们应该使用正切比来寻找地面距离。

    tan 25 = 15000 d d = 15000 tan 25 32 , 200   f t

    1. Rachel spots a bird in a tree at an angle of elevation of 30 . If Rachel is 20 ft from the base of the tree, how high up in the tree is the bird? Give your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot.
      ::瑞秋在树上标出一只鸟在高度30英尺角的树上。如果瑞秋离树底20英尺,那鸟在树上有多高?请回答最近的十英尺。

    Make a diagram to illustrate the situation. Keep in mind that there will be a right triangle and that the right angle is formed by the ground and the trunk of the tree.
    ::绘制图表以说明情况。 记住将有一个右三角形, 右角由树的地面和树干组成 。

    Here we can use the tangent ratio to solve for the height of the bird
    ::在这里,我们可以用正切比来解决鸟的高度

    tan 30 = h 20 h = 20 tan 30 11.5   f t

    1. A 12 ft ladder is leaning against a house and reaches 10 ft up the side of the house. To the nearest degree , what angle does the ladder make with the ground?
      ::12英尺高的梯子靠着一栋房子,在房子的侧面达到10英尺高。

    In this problem, we will need to find an angle. By making a sketch of the triangle we can see which inverse trigonometric ratio to use.
    ::在这个问题上,我们需要找到一个角度。通过绘制三角形的草图,我们可以看到哪个反三角比可以使用。

    sin x = 10 12 sin 1 ( 10 12 ) 56

    ::例1

    Earlier, you were asked to find  the angle of elevation from the end of the shadow to the top of the tree with respect to the ground.
    ::早些时候,有人要求你找到从阴影的尽头到树顶的高度角,从地面到地面。

    If you draw this situation, you will see that we are dealing with a right triangle. The side opposite the angle of elevation is 40. The side adjacent to the angle is 80. Therefore, we can use the tangent to find the angle of elevation.
    ::如果你画出这种情况, 你会看到我们正在处理一个右三角形。 向右的角是40。 向右的角是40。 向右的角是80。 因此, 我们可以用正切的角来找到高的角 。

    tan x = 40 80 = 1 2 tan 1 ( 1 2 ) =≈ 26.57
