Question on: WAEC Mathematics - 2004
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
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: D
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
\(tan\theta = \frac{7}{5}=1.4; \theta = tan^{-1}(1.400)\
\theta = 54.4^{\circ}; \theta = 54^{\circ}\) to the nearest degree
