Answer:

Angle of depression = 51° (to nearest degree)

Step-by-step explanation:

Using tan trig ratio (where x is the angle, O is the side opposite the angle and A is the side adjacent to the angle)

[tex]tan(x)=\dfrac{O}{A}=\dfrac{9.3}{7.4}=\dfrac{93}{74}\\\\\implies x=\arctan\left(\dfrac{93}{74}\right)=51.49 \textdegree[/tex]

So angle of depression is 51.49° (to nearest hundredth)
