Answer: 13.79\º  

The <u>angle of depression</u> is that which <u>measurement is made between the visual line and the horizontal line</u> (figure attached), <u>taking into account that the object that forms the angle is below the horizontal</u>.

In additon, this angle is congruent with the elevation angle.

In the attached figure we can see the situation described in the statement:

The figure formed is a right triangle with two known sides. We can use the tangent trigonometric function to find the value of the angle \theta, as follows:

tan(\theta)=\frac{OC}{AC}  

Where OC=38.4ft is the opposite cathetum or leg to the angle \theta, and  AC=156.45ft is the adjacent cathetum or leg to \theta.

Then:

tan(\theta)=\frac{38.4}{156.45ft}  

tan(\theta)=0.245  

\theta=arctan(0.245)  

Finally we find the angle of depression of Juliet’s site to her boyfriend on the ground:

\theta=13.79\º

PLS HELP ME ASAP FOR 1, 2, and 3 (SHOW WORK!!!!) MUST SHOW WORK! +LOTS of POINTS!!
emmainna [20.7K]
1) first find the ratio of gallons to minutes which is 150/6=25, so 25 gallons a minute.now divide 20,000 by 25=800 and that is the answer
2)so, we found the proportion 25:1 or 25 gallons a minute
3)we do the same thing we did for find, find the ratio per square feet 700/2=350, next we divide 1960 by 350. that should get you 5.6

Hope I helped! :)
