4) A blimp is flying to cover a football game. The pilot sights the stadium at an 8° angle
of depression. The blimp is flying at an altitude of 420m. How many meters is the blimp
from the stadium?

Respuesta :

Answer:

x = 3017.82 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

Angle of depression of the pilot is 8 degrees

The  blimp is flying at an altitude of 420 m.

It is required to find the distance between the blimp and the stadium. Let it is x. It can solved using trigonometry.

[tex]\sin\theta=\dfrac{P}{H}\\\\\tan 8=\dfrac{420}{x}\\\\x=\dfrac{420}{\sin8}\\\\x=3017.82\ m[/tex]

So, the blimp is 3017.82 m from the stadium.
