About how long is a shadow of an 80 ft tall oak tree if the angle of the sun is 40 degrees?
It depends on the angle of depression of the sun. The answer would be 80ft * tan(90-angle of depression) At a depression angle of 40 degrees, the shadow would be 80 * tan (50) which equals 95.340ft
What is the best angle to fire a rocket to get the maimum distance?
45 degrees
What angle of the cannon gives the greatest linear distance?
45-48 degrees
What is trigonometric leveling?
It is the process of determining the differences of elevation of stations from observed vertical angle and known horizontal distance..
What is the length of DE if the angle of depression from D to F measures 25 degrees and EF length is 10 yards?
The angle of depression is the same as the angle of elevation because they are alternate angle so use the tangent ratio:- 10*tan(25) = 4.663076582 or 4.663 yards to 3 decimal places

The angle of depression from a lighthouse to a ship at sea is 32 degrees. Find the distance the ship is from lighthouse if the height of the lighthouse is 20 meters to the nearest meter?
The alternate angle is 32 degrees and so 20/tan(32) = 32 meters
What is the distance between two rocks when the angles of depression when sighted above a 50 cliff are 18 degrees and 20 degrees?
Angle of depression is the same as angle of elevation because they are alternate angles so use the tangent ratio to find the distances. distance 1: adj = 50/tan18 = 153.8841769 distance 2: adj = 50/tan20 = 137.373871 153.8841769 - 137.373871 = 16.51030586 Therefore distance between the rocks = 16.5 units of measurment to 1 d.p.
What is a distance in degrees north and south of the equator?
You're going for "latitude". But it's an 'angle', not a 'distance in degrees'.
A ski slope is 250 yards long with a vertical drop of 100 yardsfind the angle of depression of the slope?
The angle of depression is equal to the angle of elevation, so use the sine ratio to find the angle. sine = opposite (the vertical drop) divided by the hypotenuse (the ski slope) sine = 100/250 = 2/5 or 0.4 sine-1(0.4) = 23.57817848 degrees which is about 24 degrees
Does a projectile's distance covered decrease when fired at an angle above forty-five degrees?
The optimal angle to fire a projectile if the objective is distance is 45 degrees. It follows that the distance traveled decreases whether the angle is increased or decreased from 45.
In the absence of air resistance at what other angle will a thrown ball go the same distance as one thrown at an angle of 75 degrees?
The answer is 45 degrees. If given the same velocity, and thrown at say...10 degrees, to the ground, then the distance it would travel is the same as the distance it would travel if it were thrown 80 degrees. Complementary angles end up at the same distance horizontally.
What is the best angle to fire a rocket to get the maimum distance?
45 degrees
From the top of a cliff 32 meter high it is noted that the angles of depression of two boats lying in the line due east of the cliff are 21 degrees and 17 degrees How far are the boats apart?
Angle of depression equals angle of elevation (alternate angles) So use the tangent ratio to find the distance of the two ships are from the base of the cliff: 104.6672838 - 83.36285007 = 21.30443373 meters apart.
A hunter hidden in a tree 90 feet above the ground spots two deer in the forest one is due West at the angle of depression of 24 degrees and the other is due at an angle of depression of 58 degrees?
Pancakes, because astronauts only kayak with pineapples.
What is the Greatest distance north or south for the sun?
About 23.5 degrees north and south. Note that this is an angle, not a distance.
Does angle of catapult affect distance object travels?
By laws of physics, the angle at which something is launched into the air affects how far it will travel. Not taking into account air resistance, 45 degrees would be the ideal angle for maximum distance.
