    STATION 1. HELP ME OUT!

    After heavy winds brought by “Hanging Habagat” damaged a house,


    workers placed an 8-m brace against its side at a 45 ° angle. Then, at the
    same spot on the ground, they placed a second longer brace to make a
    30 ° angle with the side of the house. Illustrate and show the complete
    solution for each question below.
    a. How long is the longer brace? Round your answer to the nearest
    tenth of a meter.
    b. About how much higher on the house does the longer brace reach
    the shorter brace?

    STATION 2. AM I WRONG?

    Elena drew a triangle at the right. Eden said 5 √3
    the lengths couldn’t be correct. With which 30 ° 60 °
    student do you agree? Explain your answer. 10
    STATION 3. CUBE IT!

    Make a cube out of paper whose side is 3 inches. Find the length
    of the diagonal across the cube.

    STATION 4. THE SHIP WENT TO TOWN

    Two towns, Maasim and Kiamba, located along the coast of


    Sarangani facing the sea are 30 km apart on a north-south line.
    From a ship, the line of sight of Maasim is W 30 ° N , while that of
    Kiamba is S 40 ° W . Illustrate and answer the following:
    a) How far is the ship from Maasim?
    b) How far is the ship from Kiamba?
    STATION 5. OH SANCHEZ PEAK!

    As you walk through a level path toward a mountain, the


    measures of the angle of elevation to the Sanchez Peak from one
    point is 33 °. From another point 1000 ft closer, the angle of
    elevation is 3 5 °. How high is the Sanchez Peak? (Use the clay to
    model the Sanchez peak and yarn for angles of elevation.)

    1. A student is 400 meters away from the base of the Brigada
    News radio tower. The angle of elevation to the top of the tower
    is 60 °. How high is the tower?

    2. A security in a school building 48.8 m above ground level saw


    cars moving directly towards the building. He observed that the
    angles of depression are 45 ° ∧30° . Find the distance between the
    two cars, assuming that they are coming from the same side of
    the building.

    To find the distance between two points A and B on opposite


    banks of Silway river, a surveyor lays off a line segment AC of
    length 250 m along one bank and determines that the measures
    of ∠ BAC∧∠ ACB are 64 °∧43 °, respectively. Find the distance from A
    to B.

    Peter has three sticks measuring 19 cm, 23 cm, and 27 cm. He lays
    them down to form a triangle. Find the measure of the angle
    formed by the 19-cm and 23-cm sides to the nearest degree.
