23) A surveyor is measuring the distance across a small lake. He has set up his transit on one side of the lake 80 feet from a piling that is directly across from a pier on the other side of the lake. From his transit, the angle between the piling and the pier is 35°. What is the distance between the piling and the pier to the nearest foot?
24) A building 220 feet tall casts a 60 foot long shadow. If a person stands at the end of the shadow and looks up to the top of the building, what is the angle of the person's eyes to the top of the building (to the nearest hundredth of a degree)? (Assume the person's eyes are 4 feet above ground level.)
