A great white shark swims 56 feet below sea level and is 97ft from the sail boat
What is the ANGLE OF DEPRESSION from the sail boat to the shark ?? ( round the the nearest WHOLE degree )

Answer 1

35

Explanation:

We use trignometry here

Assuming that the angle created between the surface of the sea and the 56feet below line is 90 degrees.

So we use the sin rule

sin90/97 = sin x/56

multiply 56 to the other side

56*sin90/97 = sin x

sin90=1

56/97 = sin x

x= sin^-1 (56/97)

x= 35.3

Round and you get 35
