A point on the ground is 5m away from the foot of a vertical wall 7 m high, Calculate, correct to the nearest degree, the angle of depression of the point from the top of the wall
-
A.
36o
-
B.
44o
-
C.
46o
-
D.
54o
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation
θ= angle of depression of the point from the top of the wall
\(tan\theta = \frac{7}{5}=1.4; \theta = tan^{-1}(1.400)\
\theta = 54.4^{\circ}; \theta = 54^{\circ}\) to the nearest degree
