after flying at an altitude of 50 meters, a helicopter starts to descend when its ground distance from the landing pad is 11 kilometer . what is the angle of depression for this part of the flight

The angle of depression for the flight part is approximately 0.2604 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The given altitude at which the helicopter is flying = 50 meters

The horizontal distance of the helicopter from the helipad = 11 kilometers = 11,000 meters

The angle of depression = The angle of elevation = Arctan(Altitude/(Horizontal distance)

Therefore;

The angle of depression for the flight part = Arctan(50/(11,000)) ≈ 0.2604 degrees
