Burj Khalifa in Dubai is the tallest building in the world, standing at 828 meters. An adjacent
building, 100 meters away, stands at 550 meters tall. What is the angle of depression from Burj
Khalifa to the adjacent building?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Approximately 70 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

If we make a right triangle connecting the two buildings, we get a triangle with height 278m and length 100m

We can connect these two values to the theta by using the inverse tan formula

arctan(278/100) = 70.21572110836 degrees.

The angle of depression is approximately 70 degrees
