The angle of depression from an airplane to a point on the ground is 45°. If the airplane is 500 m high, how far is the point from the point directly below the airplane?
Q1. The angle of depression from an airplane to a point on the ground is 45°. If the airplane is 500 m high, how far is the point from the point directly below the airplane?
Answer: 500 m
Explanation: Using tan(45°) = 500 / distance, we get distance = 500 m since tan(45°) = 1.
