Question

A tourist views a deer from a height of 45 feet. The horizontal distance between the tourist and the deer is 130 feet. How many degrees should the tourist tilt his camera down to photograph the deer? Round your answer to the nearest degree.

  1. 19°
  2. 45°
  3. 71°
  4. 138°

hintHint:

tan space theta equals fraction numerator p e r p e n d i c u l a r over denominator b a s e end fraction

The correct answer is: 19°


    Given: Horizontal distance between the tourist and the deer=130 feet
    Height of the tourist=45 feet
    Here perpendicular=45 feet
    Base=130 feet
    So the degrees by which the tourist should tilt his camera down to photograph the deer is:tan to the power of negative 1 end exponent left parenthesis 45 over 130 right parenthesis
equals 19.093 space d e g r e e s
equals 19 space d e g r e e s space
