From An Airplane At An Altitude Of 1200m, The Angle Of Depresion To A Rock On The Ground Measure 28 Degree. Find The Horizontal Distance From The Plan

from an airplane at an altitude of 1200m, the angle of depresion to a rock on the ground measure 28 degree. find the horizontal distance from the plane to the rock.

Answer:

Approximately 2256.87 meters

Computation:

Solving for the horizontal distance between the plane and the rock or the adjacent by tangent function.

tan\:28\°=\frac{1200\:m}{adjacent}\\\\adjacent(tan\:28\°)=1200\:m\\\\adjacent=\frac{1200\:m}{tan\:28\°}\approx\boxed{2256.87\:m}
