Asked by Daniela

From the top of the control tower 250 m tall, an airplane is sighted on the ground below. If the airplane is 170 m from the base of the tower, find the angle of depression of the airplane from the top of the control tower.

Tan= Opposite/Adjacent
Tan ß = 250m/170m
Tan ß = 1.470588235

Since we are looking for angle theta's value, we need to press:
Shift+Tan+1.470588235 = 55.78429786 m is the angle of depression of the airplane from the top of the control tower.
