Question 460693
They strike oil when they have drilled 2015 feet along an angle of depression of 44 degrees.
 Find the depth of the oil deposit.
;
The depth (d) will be the side opposite the angle of 44 degrees
The hypotenuse will = 2015 ft
:
We can use the sine here
sin(44) = {{{d/2015}}}
d = sin(44) * 2015
d ~ 1400 ft
