Question

Lily is riding in the Badweek Blimp over a high school. When her angle of depression is 67°, her horizontal distance from one of the classrooms is 824 feet. How high off the ground is the blimp at this time?

Answer 1

The Height of blimp from ground is 357.53 feet

Explanation:

Given in question as :

The angle of depression of Lily riding = 67 °

The horizontal distance from classroom = 842 feet

Let the height of blimp from ground = x feet

Now as it is making angle of depression ,

Then Tan 67° =
`(perpendicular)/(base)`

Or, 2.355 =
`(x)/(842)`

∴ x = = 357.53 feet

Hence the Height of blimp from ground is 357.53 feet Answer
