Question

You wre flying a drone at a height of twelve yards. It has traveled a horizontal of twenty eight. What is the angle of depression from the drones current location down to its starting point

Answer 1

23.19°

Explanation:

Given that,

The height of a drone = 12 yards

It has traveled a horizontal of 28 yards

We need to find the angle of depression from the drones current location down to its starting point. It can be calculated as :

`\tan\theta=(P)/(B)\\\\\theta=\tan^(-1)((P)/(B))\\\\=\tan^(-1)((12)/(28))\\\\=23.19^(\circ)`

So, the angle of depression is equal to 23.19°.
