Unit O Concept 10- Solving Elevation and Depression Word Problems

I am having the time of my life at Drake's concert. The stage is exactly 5 feet away from me. The angle of elevation from me, to him is 30*. How many feet do I have to jump to make it on stage?

In the picture above, I used cos35=5. I then multiplied by x, then divided by cos35. I plugged it into my calculator and got 5.019 feet.

After the concert, I stood outside Drake's tour bus to take a picture. When he came out, a million things ran across my head, but most importantly, I wondered how far he would have to lean in to kiss me. With Drake being 11 inches taller than me, and the angle of elevation being 21*, how far does he have to lean in to give me a kiss?

In the picture above, I used sin21. I multiplied x out and then divided by sin21. After plugging 11/sin21, I got 30.695 inches.
