Step-by-step explanation:
Given Prasad observes a person standing on the ground from a helicopter with an angle of depression 45 degree. If the helicopter flies at a height of 500 m. from the ground what is the distance of the person from Prasad.
- ABC is a right angle triangle given the helicopter flies at a height of 500 m from the ground. We need to find the distance of the person from Prasad.
- From triangle ABC,
- So tan 45 degree = BC / AC = base / opposite side
- = x / 500
- So tan 45 = x/ 500
- 1 = x/500
- So x = 500 m
