Respuesta :
Find x the angle of depression from the top of a lighthouse that is 184 ft above water level to the waterline of a ship 970 off shore.
Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a degree.
:
We can find the interior angle (A) that is associated with the angle of depression using the tangent
tan(A) = 970%2F184
A = 79.3 degrees
therefore
90-79.3 = 10.7 degrees is the angle of depression

Answer:
The answer to your question is: Ф = 81.1° = 278.9°
Explanation:
Data
angle, x, = ?
height = 170 ft
distance 1084 ft
Process
tan Ф = opposite side / adjacent side
tan Ф = 1084 / 170 = 6.37
Ф = tan ⁻¹ (6.37)
Ф = 81.1° or 360 - 81.1 = 278.9°
