Question 1160045: to illuminate the entrance of condominium, a night light is mounted on a 7-m pole. if the base of the pole is 25m from the entrance, find the angle of depression of the light. Answer by MowMow(42) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Technically, the light probably has a hat top over it so it shines downward, but above the entrance. The angle of depression of the light rays to the entrance is the arcTangent of 7/25 which is the vertical height over the horizontal distance
= arcTan(7/25) = 15.64 degrees
