Question

Please help with geometry

Answer 1

Answer: The angle of depression is 51.34°.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You can make the diagram shown in the figure attached. Where $A$ is the point where the clue is and $B$ is the point where Tyler is.

2. To calculate the angle of depression, which is identified in the diagram as $\alpha$, you can use $tan^{-1}$, as following:

$tan^{-1}(\alpha)=\frac{3.5}{2.8}$

3. Then, you obtain the following angle of depression from the clue to the point where Tyler is:

$\alpha=51.34$°
