<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
The figure is attached below
Triangle ABC is a rightangled triangle
A helicopter is flying at point A and landing pad is at point c
Angle of depression of the helicopter is 37 degrees so angle of elevation of this helicopter from landing pad will be same as 37 degrees
The helicopter is 1250 feet from the ground
Therefore, AB = 1250 feet
To find: horizontal distance from the helicopter to the landing pad
BC is the horizontal distance from the helicopter to the landing pad
BC = ?
By the definition of tan,
Thus the horizontal distance from the helicopter to the landing pad is 1658.81 feet
