Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  

a man is in a boat that is floating 175 feet from the base of a 200 foot cliff. what is the angle of depression between the cliff and the boat?

A boat is moving 175 feet from the base and a man is in the boat. The height of cliff is 200 feet. We need to find the angle between the cliff and the boat.

We have a right angled triangle where base is 175 ft and height is 200 ft.

We know that tan θ = opposite / adjacent

                              = 200 / 175

                 So θ = tan ^-1 (200 / 175)

                 So θ = 48.8 degree
