Due: Thursday, April 12th, 2007

	Please answer four of the following five questions.  Please show your work and answer all questions in pencil on a separate piece of paper (1 mark).  For the word problems, please draw diagrams.  Good luck and have fun!

1) Mr. Sadler throws a ball into the air at an angle of 35° and hits a sign which is 3 metres high.  How far did the ball go? (Hint: draw a diagram involving a right triangle)

2) Superman is standing on the top of an 85m building.  Lois Lane, who is looking up at Superman at an angle of 8 degrees, yells for help, and Superman flies directly toward her (through the air).  How far does Superman travel in the air?

3) John E. and Kyle A. are having a discussion.  They both agree that they can throw a baseball exactly 12 metres, but John thinks that if he throws it at 40 degrees it will go farther, and Kyle thinks it will go farther at 46 degrees.  Who is right?

4) Ania M. is standing at the top of a 10m diving board (obviously she isn’t afraid of heights).  If she dives off at an angle of 13 degrees, how far away from the diving board will she hit the water? 

5) Kurtis just got fouled out of the basketball game.  He sees that the court is 10m wide.  If there is an angle of 34 degrees, how long is the court?
