A man standing on a cliff observes a boat at an angle of depression of 30°. If the cliff is 50m high, how far is the boat from the cliff?
Q1. A man standing on a cliff observes a boat at an angle of depression of 30°. If the cliff is 50m high, how far is the boat from the cliff?
Answer: 50√3 m
Explanation: tan(30°) = 50 / distance. So, distance = 50 / tan(30°) = 50 / (1/√3) = 50√3 m.
