Question

A golfer is standing on a tee with a green in a valley below. If the tee is 43 yards higher

Answer 1

Answer:

$13.65^0.$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Height of tee, H = 43 yard

Direct distance of the hole is, D = 177 yards

Now, Angle of depression of tee

$\tan \theta = \dfrac{H}{D}$

$\tan \theta = \dfrac{43}{177}$

$\tan \theta =0.2429$

$\theta = 13.65^\circ$

Hence, angle of depression from tee to the green is $13.65^0.$
