For example, determining heights of buildings, the height of a plane (given its angle of ascent), and the length of a shadow can all be accomplished via trigonometric functions. We actually perform such an example here. <P> <HR><center> <table border=1> <td><A HREF="node66.html"><img height=36 width=36 alt="PREVIOUS" src="/UCESIcons/tools/previous.gif"></A></td> <td><A HREF="node66.html"><img height=36 width=36 alt="UP" src="/UCESIcons/tools/up.gif"></A></td> <td><A HREF="node68.html"><img height=36 width=36 alt="NEXT" src="/UCESIcons/tools/next.gif"></A></td> <td><a href="contents-node67.html"><img height=36 width=36 alt="CONTENTS" src="/UCESIcons/tools/toc.gif"></a></td> </table> </center> <HR><P><ADDRESS> <I><A HREF="http://www.math.psu.edu/sellersj/">James A.
