The thickness of the ozone layer can be estimated using the formula
where I 0 is the intensity of a particular wavelength of light from the sun before it reaches the atmosphere, I is the intensity of the same wavelength after passing through a layer of ozone x centimeters thick, k is the absorption constant of ozone for that wavelength, and
is the acute angle that the sunlight makes with the vertical. Suppose that for a wavelength of 3,055
10 - 8 centimeter with k
1.86, I o /I is measured as 1.72 and
. Approximate the thickness of the ozone layer to the nearest 0.01 centimeter.

The amount of sunshine illuminating a wall of a building can greatly affect the energy efficiency of the building. The solar radiation striking a vertical wall that faces east is given by the formula
where R 0 is the maximum solar radiation possible,
is the angle that the sun makes with the horizontal, and
is the direction of the sun in the sky, with
= 90 o when the sun is in the east and
= 0 o when the sun is in the south. What percentage of R 0 is striking the wall when
is equal to 30 o and the sun is in the southeast?
Round the answer to the nearest integer.

The phases of the moon can be described using the phase angle
, determined by the sun, the moon, and the Earth, as shown in the figure. Because the moon orbits Earth,
changes during the course of a month. The area of the region A of the moon, which appears illuminated to an observer on Earth, is given by
, where R = 1,080 mi is the radius of the moon. Approximate A for the following position of the moon:

Points on the terminal sides of angles play an important part in the design of arms for robots. Suppose a robot has a straight arm 20 inches long that can rotate about the origin in a coordinate plane. If the robot's hand is located at (20, 0) and then rotates through an angle of 60 o , what is the new location of the hand?
