<h3>What is trigonometry?</h3>
Trigonometry is the branch of mathematics which set up a relationship between the sides and angle of the right-angle triangles.
Given that:-
- An aeroplane is flying at the height of 10 km above the ground the distance along the ground from the aeroplane to the airport is 10√3 km
The angle of depression will be calculated as the angle between the horizontal and the height of the plane as shown in the figure below.
As we know that the perpendicular theta is height and the base ratio is angle tan theta.
tanФ = Height / Base
tanФ = 10 / 10 √3
tanФ = 1 / √3
Ф = tan⁻¹( 1 / √3 ) = 30°
Therefore the angle of depression from the aeroplane to the ground will be 30 degrees.
