Ahelicopter hovers 500 feet above a small island. the figure shows that the angle of depression from the helicopter to point p is 50. how far off the coast to the nearest foot is the island.

See the attached picture:

I'll do the first one for you. it isn't very hard at all.on number one, you have (50 × 3), which equals 150, and (3 × 3), which equals 9. after you establish that, you add 150 and 9 together. so, (150 + 9) equals 159.this means that 53 × 3 = 159.
