Question 168967: Hi,
It's word problems (again) mixed with angles. Please help:
The angle of depression of an aircraft carrier from an approaching airplane is 48 degrees 22'. If the plane is flying at an altitude of 1240m, find the horizontal distance to the carrier.
So I draw a triangle that has a height of 1240m |, and an angle |\ of 48 degrees, 22'.
I'm not sure if I even have the correct angle labeled. Please help.
Thank you.
