You want to hang a banner that is 29 feet tall from the third floor of your school. You need to know how tall the wall is, but there is a large bush in your way.

a. You throw a 38 foot rope out of the window to your friend. She extends it to the end and measures the angle of elevation to be 70. How high is the window? 

b. The bush is 6 feet tall. Will your banner fit above the bush? 

c. What If ? Suppose you need to find how far from the school your friend needs to stand. Which trigonometric ratio should you use?
