The Problem: 15anera: Sugar, oh Honey Honey.

Marlene's cousin is about to celebrate her traditional quinceanera. She put Marlene in charge of the cake design. Marlene has a friend that works in a pastry and she meets with him to ponder over the design. However, one major issue she has is that they need to figure out how tall the cake should be. For aesthetic reasons, Marlene wants the corner of the table (where the cake will be placed) 25 inches away from the the edge of the top cake. She wants the table edge of the table to be 30 inches from quinceanera doll's eyes at the top of the cake. She wants the angle of the doll's eyes to the corner of the table plus the angle of the corner of the table to the edge of the top cake to be around 60 degrees. If they decide to make the cake 4 feet tall and put a 4 inch tall doll on top, find the angle of depression and elevation to see if 4 feet is close to getting the ideal angle that Marlene is thinking of.
