Aplane is flying at an altitude of 32,000 feet. the distance between the plane and a radio tower on the ground is 50,000 feet. what is the angle of depression between the plane and radio tower (round to 1 decimal place)?

The angle of depression between the plane and radio tower is

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram attached below,

AB = Height at which the plane is flying.

AC = Distance between the plane and a radio tower.

We have to calculate the angel of depression or θ.

The triangle ABC is a right angle triangle. So,

vbbv

step-by-step explanation:

we have

using a graphing tool

see the attached figure

this is a quadratic equation (vertical parabola) open up

the vertex is a > vertex

the domain of the function is all real > interval (-∞,∞)

the range of the function is the > [-6.125,∞)

the function has two x->   and

the function is increasing over the > (0.25,∞)

the function is decreasing over the > (-∞,0.25)
