emir is standing in a treehouse in looking down at a swing set in the yard next-door. The angle of depression from emir’s Highline to the swingset is 31.43°, and emir is 11 feet from the ground. How many feet is the base of the tree from the swing set

Answer:

18 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is  illustrated using the attached image.

From the image, we have:

[tex]\theta = 31.43^o[/tex] --- angle of depression

[tex]h = 11ft[/tex] --- Emir's height

Required

The distance from the base of the tree (x)

From the attached triangle, we have:

[tex]\tan(90 - \theta) = \frac{Opposite}{Adjacent}[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]\tan(90 - 31.43) = \frac{x}{11}[/tex]

[tex]\tan(58.57) = \frac{x}{11}[/tex]

Make x the subject

[tex]x = 11 * \tan(58.57)[/tex]

[tex]x = 18.00[/tex]
