please help me this problems with a drawing if possible Slight Smile thaaank you very much

1. A straight line AB on the side of a hill is inclined 15.0 degrees to the horizontal. The axis of a
tunnel 486 ft. long is inclined 28.6 below the horizontal and lies in a vertical plane with AB. How
long is the vertical hole from the bottom of the tunnel to the surface of the hill?

2. A mountain peak C is 4130 ft. above sea level, and from C the angle of elevation of a second
peak B is 5.0 degrees. An aviator A directly over peak C finds that the angle CAB is 43.8 degrees
when his altimeter shows that he is 8460 ft. above sea level. Find the height of peak B to the
nearest tens place.

3. The Leaning Tower of Pisa at present leans 5.2 degrees with the vertical. At a point on the
leaning side of the tower 216 ft. from and on a level with its base and in a vertical plane through
the tower the angle of elevation of the top is 41.8 degrees. Find the height of the tower.

4. If the hour hand of a clock has a length of 4 inches, how far does its tip travel in 1 hour and 20
minutes?

5. Find the values of the following (Draw the necessary figure for each)
a.) tan(-?)
b.) cot(4?/3)
c.) tan(?/6)
d.) sec(2?/3)

6. Read the trigonometric functions of the angle subtended at O (origin) by the line connecting
(12,0) to (12,5).

7. Locate the terminal side of ? in standard position and find the other trigonometric functions if
a.) cos? = 4/5, sin? negative.
b.) sin? = -8/17, cot? positive
c.) tan? = -12/5, sin? positive

8. Show that sin(90o+A) = cosA in a diagram. (Do not use trigonometric identities)

With so much to read and 8 questions to figure out, it's no wonder you're getting no response. Not many have this kind of patience especially with such boringly easy material.
You should really break up a thing this size into at least 4 questions.

I'll help you with two:

4. no. of degrees traced out = 480°
Distance traveled = 480 ? (?/180) ? 4 = 33.51 inches

5. a) tan(-?) = tan0 = 0
b) cot(4?/3) = 1/tan(4?/3) = 1/1.7321 = 0.5774
c) tan(?/6) = tan30° = 0.5774
d) sec(2?/3) = 1/cos(2?/3) = -2.000

I'm assuming those question marks represent an unknown variable.
