A sloth climbed a tree. He climbed up the trunk and out to the very end of the branch. The trunk was slanted at an angle of N25E. The branch is 7ft long and the branch is parallel to the ground. From the sloth to the base of the tree, the bearing is S55W. If the sloth were to miscalculate the length of his branch and fall to the ground, how far would the sloth fall?

  1. Emme and Chandler started a scavenger hunt at the school gym. Emme went N70*E for 10 miles. Chandler went N70*W. When Chandler looks back at the gym he has a bearing of 20*. How far are Emme and Chandler from each other ?

  2. Stephanie and her niece go to the beach. Her niece starts to swim N45°W for about 35 feet until she reaches the line & Stephanie walks 10 feet over to grab a towel out of her bag. What's the distance between Stephanie and her niece?

  3. Jackie is able to determine that the angle to the two trees is 32 degrees from whe she is standing. The distance to the tall tree is 75 meters, and the distance to the shorter tree is 100 meters. What is the distance between the two trees?
