Round your answer to the nearest degree.
3. Solve Δ ABC if AB = 11 cm, AC = 9 cm, and ∠B = 48o. [A 3]
4. A crow sitting on the top of a tree with a piece of cheese in her beak sees a fox and a wolf in the same
line of sight, the fox is 10 m ahead of the wolf. The crow is 70 m from the fox and observes the wolf at
the angle of depression of 16o. Determine the angle of depression the crow observes the fox and the height
of the tree. [T 3]
