so you have an angle and you are trying to find the value of the opposite leg and you have the value of the adjacent leg.
there's no angle
so as you may well know \[\tan \theta=\frac{ opposite }{ adjacent }\]
it says your angle of depression is 27
@jumpman97 are you there?
yea
there is an angle given
nope there's no
