From a balloon 915 feet high, the angle of depression to the ranger headquarters is 85°14'. How far is the headquarters from a point on the ground directly below the balloon (to the nearest foot)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

66ft right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not good with angle of depression and elevation sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think its 76 ft as at the drown triangle for the case we get the needed distance =(915)/(tan85)

OpenStudy (barrycarter):

I got 76 ft as well, 915/(tan(85+14/60))
