From the observation deck of a skyscraper; Madison measures a 67 angle of depression to a ship in the harbor below. Ifthe observation deck is 1143 feet high; what is the horizontal distance from the base of the skyscraper out to the ship? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot if necessary

Answer:  383.30 feet

========================================================

Explanation:

The drawing is shown below.

Notice that 23 + 67 = 90, or you could say 90-67 = 23.

Use the tangent ratio to find x.

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(23) = x/903

x = 903*tan(23)

x = 383.300759 approximately

x = 383.30
