A man is standing on a bridge, and the angle of depression to a boat is 60°. If the height of the bridge is 20 m, find the distance between the bridge and the boat.
Q1. A man is standing on a bridge, and the angle of depression to a boat is 60°. If the height of the bridge is 20 m, find the distance between the bridge and the boat.
Answer: 20/√3 m
Explanation: Using trigonometric ratio: tan(60°) = 20 / distance, so distance = 20 / √3 m.
