Question

A 50-meter vertical tower is braced with a cable secured at the top of the tower and tied 30 meters from the base. What is the angle of depression from the top of the tower to the point on the ground where the cable is tied?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

θ = arctan(50/30) ≈ 59°

Answer 2

Answer:

angle of depression = 59.04 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

tangent X = 30/50

tangent X = 0.6

x = 30.96 degrees

90-30.96 = 50.04 degrees
