  1. Question 1

    Q1. The angle of depression from the top of a cliff to a boat is 60°. If the height of the cliff is 50 m, find the distance from the cliff to the boat.

    • A) 50/√3 m
    • B) 50√3 m
    • C) 25√3 m
    • D) 25/√3 m

    Answer: 50/√3 m

    Explanation: Using tan(60°) = 50 / distance, we get √3 = 50 / distance, so distance = 50/√3 m.
