Question

You wre flying a drone at a height of twelve yards. It has traveled a horizontal of twenty eight. What is the angle of depression from the drones current location down to its starting point

Answer 1

Answer:

23.19°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The height of a drone = 12 yards

It has traveled a horizontal of 28 yards

We need to find the angle of depression from the drones current location down to its starting point. It can be calculated as :

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{P}{B}\\\\\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{P}{B})\\\\=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{12}{28})\\\\=23.19^{\circ}$

So, the angle of depression is equal to 23.19°.
