As viewed from a cliff 340 feet above sea level, a ship is 450 feet from the shore. What is the angle of depression from the cli

ff to the ship on the water below?

The angle of depression is equal to angle of elevation at ship
let m be the angle
tan m=340/450=0.76
therefore m=37.073 degrees

Which transformation can be used to prove Similarity and why?

lyudmila [28]

A similarity transformation is one or more rigid transformations (reflection, rotation, translation) followed by a dilation. When a figure is transformed by a similarity transformation, an image is created that is similar to the original figure. In other words, two figures are similar if a similarity transformation will carry the first figure to the second figure.

A 400 foot rope is extended from the ground to the top of a building. The building is 35 ft tall. What is the angle made by the

velikii [3]

Answer:

The angle is $5.0^{0}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The building is 35 feet tall, and the rope is 400 feet long.Applying the trigonometric function, we have;

Sin θ = $\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$

The height of the building represents the opposite side, while the length of the rope represents the hypotenuse. Thus;

Sin θ = $\frac{35}{400}$

Sin θ = 0.0875

θ = $Sin^{-1}$ 0.0875

= $5.02^{0}$

The angle made by the rope with respect to the ground is approximately $5.0^{0}$ .
