WPP #12: Unit O Concept 10: Solving angle of elevation and depression word problems

A) Robert is out skateboarding, filming for his part in his new skate video, and he wants to do a trick off of some store. He is walking towards the store he is going to do a trick off of and finds out that the angle of elevation from where he's standing is 73 degrees. If Robert is 7 feet away from the store, what is the height of the store?

B) Robert is now on top of the store and before doing anything he looks down from the edge of the store and estimates that the angle of depression is 59 degrees. He knows the store is 23 feet high. What would be the distance from the top of the store to the ground?
