helicopter is flying at an elevation of 450 feet. It is within sight of the landing pad and the pilot finds that the angle of depression to the landing pad is 16∘. Find the distance between a point on the ground directly below the helicopter and the landing pad. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

The distance between a point on the ground directly below the helicopter and the landing pad is 129.03 feet.

Given that,

The helicopter is flying at an elevation of 450 feet.

It is within sight of the landing pad and the pilot finds that the angle of depression to the landing pad is 16∘.

We have to determine,

The distance between a point on the ground directly below the helicopter and the landing pad.

According to the question,

The angle of depression =  16°,

Elevation = height = 450 feet

And d is the distance,

The angle of depression is an important component used in trigonometric operations.

The angle of depression is formed when the observer stands on a ground higher than the object which he is trying to observe.

Therefore, The angle of depression is,

Hence, The distance between a point on the ground directly below the helicopter and the landing pad is 129.03 feet.

138 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Angle of depression (α) = 16°

Elevation = height = 450 feets

Appling trigonometry :

From the picture attached :

Height / elevation = 450 feets (Adjacent)

Distance = d (opposite)

Tan α = opposite / Adjacent

Tan 17 = d / 450

450 tan17 = d

450 * 0.3057306 = d

d = 137.57880

Hence, distance between a point on the ground directly below the helicopter and the landing pad 138 feets
