Answer: option A. 30 °.
Explanation:
1) Draw this triangle: Eyes - Ship A - height of the cliff:
The angle of the vertix where the eyes are is: 90° - depreesion angle = 90° - 60° = 30°.
2) opossite leg = horizontal distance to the ship A = x
3) adjacent leg = height of the cliff = 1500 feet
4) tan(30°) = x / 1500 feet => x = 1500 tan(30°) = 1500 √3 / 3 = 500√3
5) Draw the triangle of the eyes - ship B - hieght of the cliff
6) The unknown is the depression angle of the eyes with ship B, α
7) opposite leg = 500√3 feet + 1000√3 feet = 1500√3 feet
8) adjacent leg = height of the cliff = 1500 feet
9) tan(α) = opposite leg / adjacent leg = 1500√3 / 1500 = √3
10) α = arctan(√3) = 60°
11) Depression angle = 90° - 60° = 30° Which is the answer
Is ther a number line or answer choses I want to help you so please let me know
No. the product stays the same because it is still the same number, just in fraction form.
59 is the answer because I said so
