Two students stand 1 yard apart and measure their respective angles of elevation to the top of a tree. Student A measures the angle to be 57°, and Student B measures the angle to be 46°.

Triangle T G A is shown. A line is drawn from point T to point A to form a second triangle. Angle T G A is a right angle, angle G A T is 57 degrees, and angle G B T is 46 degrees. The length of G T is h and the length of A B is 1 yard.

Law of sines: StartFraction sine (uppercase A) Over a EndFraction = StartFraction sine (uppercase B) Over b EndFraction = StartFraction sine (uppercase C) Over c EndFraction

What is h, the height of the tree? Use the law of sines to first find AT. Then use that measure to find the value of h.

Afactory makes propeller drive shafts for ships. a quality assurance engineer at the factory needs to estimate the true mean length of the shafts. she randomly selects four drive shafts made at the factory, measures their lengths, and finds their sample mean to be 1000 mm. the lengths are known to follow a normal distribution whose standard deviation is 2 mm. calculate a 95% confidence interval for the true mean length of the shafts. input your answers for the margin of error, lower bound, and upper bound.
