The distance between point on the ground from the top of the building is 396 meter, if the building is 280 m high and The angle of depression from the top of a building to a point on the ground is 45 degrees.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given is,
The angle of depression from the top of a building to a point on the ground is 45 degrees.
Height of the building is 280 meter.
Step: 1
Given diagram is a right angled diagram,
For right angle triangle,
90° = 45° + 45°
= 90°
Trignometric ratio,
sin ∅ =
....................(1)
For the above ratio take the bottom angle, that is angle of depression from the top of a building to a point on the ground is 45 degrees.
Where, Opp side = 280 meters
Hyp side = x
∅ = 45°
Equation (1) becomes,
sin 45° = 
0.70710678 = 
x = 
x = 395.979
Distance between point on the ground from the top of the building, x ≅ 396 meter
Trignometric ratio,
cos ∅ =
Cos 45 =
Adj = (0.70710678)(396)
Bottom length, Adj = 280 meter
Result:
The distance between point on the ground from the top of the building is 396 meter.
The x values are the same for both green dots, so you are looking at a simplified version of the distance formula.
d = sqrt( (x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2 )
Since x1 = x2 = 5, the first set of brackets = (5 - 5) = 0
d = sqrt( y2 - y1)^2 )
d = y2 - y1
y2 = 5
y1 = - 1
d = 5 - - 1
d = 6 Answer
In the first equation, you can tell that the x's are being multiplied by 3 to get to the y's so the blank will be 9. The second table would not be a function since all the x values are not being multiplied by the same number to get the y value. Hope this helps!
The answer would be B 42 miles.
