The distance between point A and point B is 23195 ft.
What is the Angle of Depression ?
For an object below the level, the angle created by the line of sight and the horizontal plane is called the Angle of Depression.
It is given that
A pilot is flying over a straight highway.
the angles of depression to two mileposts to be 32° and 56°, as shown in the figure
The pilot is flying at an altitude of 25,000 ft.
Tan [tex]\rm \theta[/tex] = Height / (Distance of the point and the plane horizontally )
Tan 32 = 25 /x
x = 25000 / tan 32
x = 40064 ft
tan 56 = 25/x
x = 25000/tan 56
x = 16869 ft
the distance between point A and point B is 23195 ft.
