Ablimp provides aerial television views of a tennis game. the television camera sights the stadium at a 17degrees angle of depression. the altitude of the blimp is 400m. what is the line-of-sight distance from the television camera to the base of the stadium? round to the nearest hundred meters.

1379.31meters  is the line-of-sight distance from the television camera to the base of the stadium .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

A blimp provides aerial television views of a tennis game.

The television camera sights the stadium at a 17degrees angle of depression. The altitude of the blimp is 400m.

Now by using the trignometric identity .

As the figure is given below .

Perpendicular = AC = 400 m

Hypotenuse = AB

Putting all the values in the identity .

AB = 1379.31 meters

Therefore the 1379.31 meters  is the line-of-sight distance from the television camera to the base of the stadium .
