Two scuba divers are diving at different depths along the same line of sight to the boat as shown. Which trigonometric function would you use to find the distance each diver is from the boat along the line of sight?

Sine

The hypotenuse is needed. Sine is the trigonometric function that relates the opposite side to the hypotenuse.

Caroline is riding the Ferris wheel at the carnival. The wheel has a diameter of 250 feet. When she gets into the car for her ride, she is 5 feet above the ground. After 2 minutes the Ferris wheel stops and her car forms a 60°-angle with the center of the wheel. How far from the ground is Caroline at this time? 

sin(60)=x/125

125sin(60)=x

x=108.25

125+5+108.25=236.25ft
