Complete question :
The tower is 10.00 m tall, and the angle of depression from the top of the tower to the point on the ground is 22°How far is the point from the base of the tower.
Answer:
4.04 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
To obtain the distance between baso of tower and point P on the ground as shown in the solution diagram :
Using trigonometry :
Tan θ = Opposite / Adjacent
Tan 22° = x / 10
0.4040262 = x / 10
0.4040262 * 10 = x
x = 4.04
Hence, distance between base of tower and point P on the ground is 4.04 meters
