Here we are given that the angle of depression is 40°
And the height of the boat from the water is 25.17 ft
we need to find the length of the rope used which we can take as x
We can see that sin is the ratio that corresponds to the opposite side and the hypotenuse sides of the triangle formed
so we have
sin 40° =
Hence the length of the rope needed is 39.16 ft
