that a direct (diagonal) path to the nearest landing area is 90,000 feet away. What is the angle of depression as they come in to land?

Answer:

41.83°

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that :

The vertical distance of the UFO from the ground = 60,000 feet

The diagonal distance of the landing area to the UFO = 90,000 feet

In order to find the angle of depression, we have to use the trigonometric ratios, i.e.,

$\sin \ \theta = \frac{\text{perpendicular distance}}{\text{hypotenus}}$

$\sin \ \theta = \frac{60,000}{90,000}$

$\sin \ \theta = \frac{2}{3}$

$\sin \ \theta = 0.667$

∴ $\theta = \sin^{-1 }(0.667)$

     = 41.83°
