Find the angle of depression from the top of a lighthouse 400 feet above water level to the water line of a ship 3.5 miles off shore? Round your answer to the nearest whole degree. HINT: 1. Draw and label a picture. *the angle of depression has to be measured DOWN from the horizontal *convert miles to feet by multiplying the number of miles by 5280 feet 2. Which Inverse Trig function can you use to solve for the missing angle? (see Geometry Reference Book page 63)
