Question

Please help I will post screenshot of it below:

Answer 1

Wait is this math or something else?

Answer 2

Math

Answer 3

this is trigonometry but there wasn't an option for that so I had to put mathematics

Answer 4

Well I don't do that yet so I can't help you with this I thought it was math because it said that And I'm a bit good at math well If imma be honest I'm not even good at anything I'm always trying to help people even if I don't know the answer so I'm so sorry that I can't help

Answer 5

This is math ur jus looking for the hypotenuse right?

Answer 6

no I have to find the angle of depression I just know the angle of Depression and the hypotenuse are not the same thing

Answer 7

Ok so use the formula tan y = opposite/adjacent

Answer 8

well then I guess we don't need to find the hypotenuse?? Because we already have the opposite and adjacent side marked

Answer 9

Yeah

Answer 10

@cripquezz what do we do next?

Answer 11

You know you have to use tan x = opposite/ adjacent

what is the value of the opposite side? and of the adjacent side?

Answer 12

To then find the value of 'x'

you need to use arctan or \(\tan^{-1}\)

so basically if you had

\(\tan a = b\)
then to figure out the angle, 'a' you would do
\(\arctan (b) = a\)
some calculators might have a button that says \(\tan^{-1}\) instead of arctan

and remember to be in degrees and not radians when you're putting the numbers into your calculator
