An airplane is headed for the airport, 73920 feet away. If the airplane is at an altitude of 3000 feet, what is the angle of depression, to the nearest tenth of a degree, from the airplane to the airport?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The angle of depression is 2.3 degrees

Explanation:

Let the scenario be shown in the diagram below:

Suppose the angle of depression is x degrees, then

[tex]\begin{gathered} \sin x=\frac{3000}{73920} \\ \\ x=\sin ^{-1}(\frac{3000}{73920})_{} \\ \\ =2.3 \end{gathered}[/tex]

x is 2
