sin 15 = 135/ hypotenuse
tan 15 = 135/d along ground
A man on a 135 feet cliff perpendicular (at 90 degrees) to the ground looks down at an
angle of 16 degrees and sees his friend. How far away is the man from his friend? How far away
is the friend from the base of the cliff? Sketch the triangle that matches this scenario with a ruler
and protractor, and solve for the distance between the man and his friend and for the distance
between the friend and the base of the cliff.
