A helicopter hovers 1250 feet above a small island. The figure shows that the angle of depression from the helicopter to point P is 47ยบ. How far off the coast, to the nearest foot, is the island?
The height of the leg will be 1250 feet. We are given an angle of depression of 47ยฐ, so we can draw an imaginary line parallel to the base of the triangle.
By the AIA Theorem, the angle of the bottom right side of the right triangle will be 47 degrees.
We want to find the distance between the coast and the island. In other words, find the length of the base of the triangle. We can do so with trigonometric ratios.
tan47 = 1250/x
x = 1166.
