Question

A tourist views a deer from a height of 45 feet. The horizontal distance between the tourist and the deer is 130 feet. At what angle (x) should the tourist hold his camera
to photograph the deer Round your answer to the nearest degree.

Answer 1

Answer:

19°

Step-by-step explanation:

You can form a right triangle using the given information. The height would be the opposite side of the triangle and the  the distance between the tourist and the deer would be the adjacent side. To find the angle we can use the tangent

Tan x = opposite side / adjacent side

Tan x = 45/130

x = Tan^-1 (45/130)

x = 19°
