Question

you are flying a drone at a height of 12 yards it has a traveled a horizontal distance of 28 yards what is the angle of depression from drones current location down to its starting point round your answer to the nearest tenth of a degree do not include units in your answer

Answer 1

According to given statement:

So:

$\begin{gathered} \tan x=\frac{12}{28} \\ \tan x=0.428 \\ x=\tan ^{-1}(0.428) \\ x=23.19^{\circ} \end{gathered}$

So angle of depression is 23.19 degree.
