Find x, the angle of depression from the top of a lighthouse that is 170 ft above water level to the waterline of a ship 1084 ft off shore. round your answer to the nearest tenth of a degree.

The answer to your question is: Ф = 81.1° = 278.9°

Explanation:

Data

angle, x, = ?

height = 170 ft

distance 1084 ft

Process

tan Ф = opposite side / adjacent side

tan Ф = 1084 / 170 = 6.37

Ф = tan ⁻¹ (6.37)

Ф = 81.1° or 360 - 81.1 = 278.9°

  the unit of the measure =

explanation:

  the property that is quantified by the energy needed per of material to raise the temperature by one.

  si unit of energy = joule (j)

  si unit of temperature = kelvin (k)

  si unit of mass of material = kilogram (kg)

the property that is quantified by the energy needed per of material to raise the temperature by one is called specific heat.

the unit of specific heat is
