Answer:

  29.7°

Step-by-step explanation:

In a right triangle representing the geometry of the problem, the side opposite the angle is the height of your observation (400 ft). The side adjacent to the angle is the distance from shore (700 ft).

You know the tangent ratio is ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

so your angle of depression satisfies ...

  tan(angle of depression) = (400 ft)/(700 ft)

Using the inverse function, we find ...

  angle of depression = arctan(4/7) ≈ 29.745°

The angle of depression is about 29.7°.

Ket [755]

Answer:

C. Median

Step-by-step explanation:

If both sides are <em>symmetrical,</em> then there is no need to try and find the mean or anything because you already have the middle point and no outliers. <u>If there were outliers it'd be different</u>, unless the outliers were symmetrical with the rest of it, then the median would still be a good option.
