The angle of depression from the top of a cliff to a boat is 30°. If the height of the cliff is 50 m, find the distance between the cliff and the boat.
Q1. The angle of depression from the top of a cliff to a boat is 30°. If the height of the cliff is 50 m, find the distance between the cliff and the boat.
Answer: 50√3 m
Explanation: Using trigonometric ratio: tan(30°) = 50 / distance, so distance = 50√3 m.
