After traveling steadily at 400 meters above a shipwrecked hull, a submerged vessel starts to descend when its ground distance

from the hull is 7 kilometers. What is the angle of depression for this part of the travel?
Select one
O a 1.00
6.327
C 86.73
d. 88.00

Answer:

Option B,
3.27

Explanation:

Given -

The submerged vessel travel horizontal distance above the shipwrecked hull


= 400


= 0.4 kilometers

The vertical distance from the the shipwrecked hull to the ground is equal to
7 kilometers

There forms a right angled triangle with

Base
= 7 kilometer

Perpendicular
= 0.4 kilometer

Tan (angle)
= (Perpendicular)/(Base)

Substituting the given values we get -

Angle of depression


= tan^(-1)((0.4)/(7))\\= 3.27

Hence, option B is correct.
