If after 100 km, the target has an angle of depression of 45◦, how far is the target from the ghter jet at that instant? Answer by josgarithmetic(39623) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Triangle with angles 30, 135, and 65 degrees.
The side opposite the 65 degree is the 100 km.
