Question

A ship on the ocean surface detecte a sunken ship on the ocean floor at an angle of depression of 50 degrees . The distance between the ship on the surface and the sunken ship on the ocean floor is 200 meters . if the ocean floor is level in this are , how far above the ocean floor , to the nearest meter is the shop on the surface .

Answer 1

h = 200 * sin(50º)

Answer 2

Tan50 = h/200.
h = 200*Tan50 =

Answer 3

if the distance between the two ships is 200 m
... how can the depth be greater than that?

Answer 4

I am assuming that 200 m. is the hor. distance.
