Question

as viewed from Cliff 360 m above sea level the angle of depression of a ship is to 28° how far is the ship from the shore

Answer 1

The distance of the ship from the shore is given by:
tan θ=opposite/adjacent
θ=28°
adjacent=x
opposite=360 m

substituting the values in our equation we get:
tan 28=360/x
solving for x we get
x=360/tan 28
x=677.06 m
