can't sketch here , but can do trigonometry
ghost to werewolf ... 135 ' / cos(90º - 16º)
wolf to cliff ... 135 ' * tan(90º - 16º)
A ghost on a 135 feet cliff perpendicular to the ground looks down at an angle of 16 degrees and sees a werewolf. How far away is the ghost from the werewolf approximately? How far away is the wolf from the base of the cliff? Sketch the triangle that matches this scenario with a ruler and protractor, and use this diagram and scales to solve for these distances between the ghost, wolf and cliff. Explain how you got your answer. Solve using the THINK Framework.
