south rim of a large canyon, when they spot a climber attempting to 1+
scale the taller northern face. Knowing the distance between the sheer 2
walls of the northern and southern faces of the canyon is
approximately 150 meters, they attempt to compute the distance
remaining for the climbers to reach the top of the northern rim.

the bottom of the north face, and angles of elevation of 30◦ and 45◦ to
the climbers and top of the northern rim respectively.

in the 10th row?

there in the middle row?

(iii) For 1500 seats in the auditorium, how many rows need to be
there?
