John is approximately 242 feet above ground. He sights
a ship in the harbor and measures the angle of depression

If I'm reading this right
...._________________Horizontal distance
.....\angle of depression
.......\

Sin42/36 = Sin(90-42)/Horizontal Distance
Horizontal Distance(0.67) = (0.74)(36)
Horizontal Distance = 39.8 ft.

Answer 2

he angle of depression is the same as the angle of elevation.) Find the distance from the ship to the statue.
