Lily is riding in the Badweek Blimp over a high school. When her angle of depression is 67°, her horizontal distance from one of the classrooms is 824 feet. How high off the ground is the blimp at this time?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The Height of blimp from ground is 357.53 feet  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in question as :

The angle of depression of Lily riding = 67 °

The horizontal distance from classroom = 842 feet

Let the height of blimp from ground = x feet

Now as it is making angle of depression ,

Then Tan 67° = [tex]\frac{perpendicular}{base}[/tex]

Or, 2.355 =   [tex]\frac{x}{842}[/tex]

∴ x =   = 357.53 feet

Hence the Height of blimp from ground is 357.53 feet     Answer
