Find the angle of depression of a swimming pool
=> has 20 meters long
=> has 12 meters wide
=> it is slanted at 1.3 meters depth
=> has 4 meters at the deep end.
Now, let’s start finding the tan:
=> tan x = oop/adj
=> tan x = 4 -1.3/20
=> 0.135
=> x = tan-1 0.135, this is equals to approximately 7.69 degrees.
Thus the angle of depression is approximately 7.69 degrees
