nitially a ship and submarine are stationary at sea level 1.78km apart.
\n" ); document.write( " the submarine then maneuvers to position A, 45 meters directly below its starting point.
\n" ); document.write( " in a second maneuvers the submarine dives a further 62 meters to position B.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Change 1.78 km to 1780 meters
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " a find the angle of elevation of the ship from the submarine when the submarine is at position A
\n" ); document.write( "A triangle is formed by the ship, the surface point of the sub and 45' underwater point. Find the angle (A) at the sub using the tangent
\n" ); document.write( "tan(A) = 1780/45
\n" ); document.write( "A = 88.55 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "Find angle of elevation: 90 - 88.55 = 1.45 degrees to ship
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " b find the angle of elevation of the ship from the submarine when the submarine is at position B
\n" ); document.write( "Total depth at position B: 45 + 62 = 107 ft
\n" ); document.write( "Tan(B) = 1780/107
\n" ); document.write( "B = 86.56 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "Find the angle of elevation: 90 - 86.56 = 3.44 degrees to the ship
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " c find the difference in the angles of elevation from the submarine to the ship when the submarine is at position A and B
\n" ); document.write( "3.44 - 1.45 = 1.99 degree difference
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
