A construction worker on the roof of a 17 meter building in NYC is speaking to his boss on the ground. If the boss is standing 9 meters from the building, from the angle of depression from the construction worker to his boss.
I used the formula Tan=o/a
tan x= 17/9
so I got 63 after putting the info into the calculator.
Is this correct?
Thanks
