Answer:
The angle of depression from Platform A to Platform B is 
Step-by-step explanation:
Refer the attached figure
The horizontal distance between the platforms is 500 feet i.e. BC = 500
The length of the zip-line is 685 feet i.e. AB = 685
We are supposed to find the angle of depression from Platform A to Platform B
Hypotenuse = 685
Base = 500

Hence the angle of depression from Platform A to Platform B is 
Here's how to do dividing in a certain ratio:
-- You want to divide up the whole thing in the ratio of
4 parts, 5 parts, and 9 parts.
-- How many parts all together ? (4 + 5 + 9) = 18 parts all together.
-- The whole thing is 180, and that's 18 total parts.
So each part is (180/18) = 10 degrees.
4 parts = (4 x 10) = 40
5 parts = (5 x 10) = 50
9 parts = (9 x 10) = 90.
Check: (40 + 50 + 90) = 180 . yay!
==============================
For the second one, I think there are some words missing.
The answer is B because 40 goes into 220 5.5 times...
Answer is d=2 1/3
Because find area of a triangle =1/2×b×h
U will get 7/3
