A tower is 275 feet high. From it's top, the angle of depression to a rock on the ground is 25degrees. Find the distance from the base of the building of the the tower to the rock.
\n" ); document.write( "LET BT BE THE TOWER WITH B ON THE GROUND AND T THE TOP.
\n" ); document.write( "BT=275
\n" ); document.write( "LET THE ROCK ON GROUND BE AT R.
\n" ); document.write( "TRIANGLE BTR IS RIGHT ANGLED AT B.
\n" ); document.write( "ANGLE TBR=90
\n" ); document.write( "ANGLE BRT=25
\n" ); document.write( "TAN(25) =BT/BR=275/BR
\n" ); document.write( "BR =275/TAN(25)=590
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
