  1. Question 1

    Q1. The angle of depression from the top of a cliff to a boat is 30°. If the cliff is 100 m high, what is the distance to the boat?

    • A) 100√3 m
    • B) 100 / √3 m
    • C) 50√3 m
    • D) 200 m

    Answer: 100√3 m

    Explanation: Using tan(30°) = 100 / distance, we get distance = 100√3 m.
