6) Two airplanes leave the same airport in opposite directions. At 1:00 P.M., the angle of elevation from the
airport to the first airplane is 25˚ and the second airplane is 16˚. The elevation of the first airplane is 8 miles,
and the elevation of the second airplane is 6 miles. Find the air distance between the two airplanes.

7) Two sides of a triangular plot of land have lengths of 400 and 600 feet. The angle formed by those sides
measures 46.3°. Find the perimeter of the plot to the nearest foot.

8) The measure of the sides of a triangle are 6.8, 8.4, and 4.9. Find the measure of the smallest angle to the
nearest degree.

9) The sides of a parallelogram are 55 and 71 units long. Find the length of the small diagonal if the larger angle
measure 106°.
