If the angle of depression of a boat from the top of a cliff is 30° and the height of the cliff is 50 m, find the distance of the boat from the cliff.
Q1. If the angle of depression of a boat from the top of a cliff is 30° and the height of the cliff is 50 m, find the distance of 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.
