Question

Help on this one please

Answer 1

d ≈ 1732 ft

Explanation:

Angle of elevation = Angle of depression

Following this truth,

m∠PAQ (Angle of depression) = m∠APB (Angle of elevation) = 30°

By applying tangent rule in the given triangle ABP,

tan(30°) =
`(AB)/(PB)`

`(1)/(√(3))=(1000)/(d)`

d = 1000√3

d = 1732.05

d ≈ 1732 ft
