Can Brooke walk out to bring the boat back without getting water over the tops of her hip boots which are 1 m tall? Explain your reasoning. 3. You are the engineer who designed a new branch for the Mountain Railroad Company. You sent your plans calling for 100 km of track up Bixby Mountain taking trains 99 km east of the city of Bixby, to the City Council for approval. But before the Council got around to looking at your plans, they passed a regulation that no railroad tracks could go up their mountain at an angle of more than 80. Will your plans be approved? Why or why not? 4. The residents of Quietville, a little town 9 km from the San Francisco Airport, insist that any plane flying over their town disturbs them if it is lower than 3 km. Will a plane that took off at a 210 angle disturb them? Why? 5. You are an air pollution inspector, checking that factories in your city have chimneys at least 65 m tall. Standing 50 m from the Ore Smelting Company's chimney, you find the angle from the ground to the chimney top is 510. Can the company use that chimney legally? Explain
