What is the problem? Do you know how to sketch it?
No, could you please tell me how to, I actually have no idea... I tried uploading an image however, it doesn't work.
I copied this from the mathsisfun site
I actually can't really see that, it's pretty blurry.
Really, it looks good on mine, maybe your screen is smaller???
Anyway, the angle of elevation is from the horizontal looking up. :)
And and angle of depression is from the horizontal looking down.
d for down
d for depression.
Can you take it from here?
I guess I can...
post your answer and I, or someone else, will check it for you. :)
tan 12 = x/5
5* tan 12 =x
x = 1.06 miles
Do you agree? @Melody
Yes, once again that is excellent. You have laid it out nicely too :)
except.... if you had to answer properly you have to write in words,
There is no x in the question. It is the vertical change in height that you have found.
Okay, thank you! :)
