A landscape architect designs a walkway around a pond, as shown in the image.
The architect uses a 30-60-90 right triangle to estimate the total length of the walkway. She measures
the shortest side of the triangle as 15 meters.
What are the lengths of the other two sides? - ANSWER Side b = 25.98 meters
Side h = 30.0 meters
A civil engineer plans to build an incline bridge over a river as shown.
The bridge will span a section that is 35 meters wide, with ends of the bridge set back 2.5 m from each
river bank. The engineer must apply right angle relationships because one river bank is 9 m higher than
the other.
