OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's what I thought too.

To find the angle of depression, draw a line from the point of reference (lighthouse tip) to the object of reference (boat). Draw a horizontal line across the point of reference. The angle of depression would be the angle that the vertical line makes with the boat.

So the answer is D?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeahh I think cause the angle of depression has to be congruent to the angle of elevation
