Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The given triangle is a right angle triangle.

The distance between the first bed and the bird watcher on the ground represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.

The distance between the birdwatcher and the second bird is 47 feet. This represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle. To determine the angle of depression, x degrees, we would apply the Sine trigonometric ratio which is expressed as

Sin θ = opposite side/hypotenuse

Sin x = 34/47 = 0.723

x = Sin^-1(0.723)

x = 46.3 degrees to the nearest tenth.
