Maxwell is about to pour himself a bowl of cereal, but notices that a RACCOON IS ON TOP OF HIS FRIDGE. He is 6ft away from the base of the fridge and the raccoon is 5ft off the ground. He finds the tan-1= 5/6 which gives him a angle of 40º
After he solved that issue, he decides to take a nice walk. He is minding his business when he sees a parrot sitting on a street light. The street light is 10ft tall and is looking at the parrot at an angle of 20º. He uses 10/tan20º. That means he is 27.5ft away from the street light.
This concludes this weeks edition of "Real World Applications"
Maxwell finally arrives at his girlfriends house and the two of them decide to go down to the shoreline, but they notice there is a swarm of bats circling the top of the light house. Maxwell and Chandler are 50ft from the light house and they are looking at the light house at a 70º angle. He uses 50tan10º. Which means they are 137.4 ft away
Maxwell returns to school the following Monday telling his friends all about his interesting weekend.
