Apirate sits in a crows nest at the top of his ship. he spots land at an angle of depression of 19°. if the pirate is 24 feet above sea level, how far away is the ship from land?

69.7 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

See the diagram attached to this answer.

Let us assume that B is the top point of the ship from where the angle of depression of the land at C is 19°.

So, ABC forms a right triangle where ∠ C is 19° and side AB = 24 feet and we have to find AC.

Now, {Where x is the measure of AC i.e. distance from ship to land}

⇒ feet. (Answer)

m∠a is 90°

m∠b is 40°
