Question
from the top of a building that is 56 m high ,the angle of depression of a truck on the road is 32 degree . haw far is the truck from the foot of the building ,to the nearest metre?
Answers
Trace
tan(theta) = opposite/adjacent
angle of depression means angle below the horizontal, so draw a triangle
tan(32 degrees) = x / 56 meters
solve by multiplying tan(32 degrees) by 56 meters
IN DEGREE MODE NOT RADIAN

henry2,
Tan A = h/d.
Tan32 = 56/d,
d =
Tan32 = 56/d,
d =
