an airplane is flying at a height of 2miles above the ground in paranaque. the distance along the ground from the airplane to the NAIA is 5 miles. what is the angle of depression form the airplane to NAIA

Sagot :

AgauxthaDhenid
2 x 5 = 10 po angle of depression is 10
Angle of Depression = Angle of Elevation

Tangent = opposite / adjacent

Tangent = 2 miles/5 miles
            = 0.4

[tex]tan ^{-1} =0.4[/tex]
                   = 21.801 degrees  or 22. degrees, angle of depression

Using your scientific calculator to find the angle whose tangent is 0.4:
1) Press 0.4
2) Press Shift key (or end)
3) Press tan

(Choose degrees over radians)
