Answer:
Pedro got 1520 base hits and Ricky got 1243.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question can be solved by a system of equations.
I am going to say that:
x is the number of base hits that Pedro got.
y is the number of base hits that Ricky got.
Pedro and Ricky got 2673 base hits last season.
This means that
Pedro had 277 more hits than Ricky.
This means that
Replacing in the first equation
Pedro got 1520 base hits and Ricky got 1243.
The angle of depression from the aeroplane to the ground will be 30 degrees.
<h3>What is trigonometry?</h3>
Trigonometry is the branch of mathematics which set up a relationship between the sides and angle of the right-angle triangles.
Given that:-
The angle of depression will be calculated as the angle between the horizontal and the height of the plane as shown in the figure below.
As we know that the perpendicular theta is height and the base ratio is angle tan theta.
tanФ = Height / Base
tanФ = 10 / 10 √3
tanФ = 1 / √3
Ф = tan⁻¹( 1 / √3 ) = 30°
Therefore the angle of depression from the aeroplane to the ground will be 30 degrees.
