FHomework: 8.4 Angles of Elevation andDepressionQuestion 7, 8.4.33HW Score: 40.91%, 9 of 2Points: 0 of 1A blimp provides aerial television views of a baseball game. The television camera sights the stadium at an 18° angle of depression. The altitude of the blimp is 500m. What is the line-of-sightdistance from the television camera to the base of the stadium? Round to the nearest hundred meters.

Answer 1

The Line of sight is the line with red color.

`\begin{gathered} \sin 18^0=(500)/(x) \\ \\ \Rightarrow x=(500)/(\sin 18^0) \\ \\ \Rightarrow x=1618.03m \end{gathered}`

Hence the line of sight distance is about 1600
