Easy question

Nisha is looking out the window of her apartment building at a sculpture in a park across the street. The top of Nisha's window is 60 feet from the ground. The angle of depression from the top of Nisha's window to the bottom of the sculpture is 25°. How far away from the building is the sculpture? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
A) 25.36 feet
B) 27.98 feet (NOT correct)
C) 100.22 feet
D) 128.67 feet (NOT correct)

Answer 1

D 128.67

Explanation:

took the test and got it right. 100% correct

Answer 2

It is D 128.67

Solution:

Opposite=60

Angle=25degrees

Adjacent=?

Hypotenuse=?

We need to solve for the adjacent so don't worry about hypotenuse value.

Equation to solve for Adj.

tan(x)=Op./Hyp.

tan(25)=60/adj.

You then flip it

Adj.=60/tan(25)

Adj.=60/0.46630765815

Adj.=128.67 feet
