The world's tallest unsupported flagpole is believed to be a 282-ft-tall steel pole located in Surrey, British Columbia. During the course of a year, the longest shadow cast by the pole is 359 ft. long. Find the angle of depression formed.

Respuesta :

Answer:

As shown in the attached figure we have

[tex]tan(\alpha )=\frac{282}{359}\\\\\therefore \alpha =tan^{-1}(\frac{282}{359})\\\alpha =37.95^{o}[/tex]

Now we have [tex]\alpha =\lambda[/tex]

Thus angle of depression is [tex]37.95^{0}[/tex]
