# Depth angle

From a cliff of 150 meters high, we can see the ship at a depth angle of 9° at sea. How far is the ship from the cliff?

Result

x =  947.063 m

#### Solution:

$a=150 \ \text{m} \ \\ A=90-9=81 \ ^\circ \ \\ \ \\ \tan A=x/a \ \\ x=a \cdot \ \tan( A ^\circ \rightarrow\ \text{rad})=a \cdot \ \tan( A ^\circ \cdot \ \dfrac{ \pi }{ 180 } \ )=150 \cdot \ \tan( 81 ^\circ \cdot \ \dfrac{ 3.1415926 }{ 180 } \ )=947.06273=947.063 \ \text{m}$
