Answer:11.91 m

Step-by-step explanation:ngle of Depression is the measurement of angle between the horizontal and your line of sight (when looking down).

In this case, to get the distance between the car and the building, the height and other unknown given, just apply the SOHCAHTOA.

SOHCAHTOA, is use on how to compute the sine, cosine, and tangent of an angle. SOH stands for Sine equals Opposite over Hypotenuse. CAH stands for Cosine equals Adjacent over Hypotenuse. TOA stands for Tangent equals Opposite over Adjacent.

In the given problem, let X is the distance between the car and building. The angle of depression is 36°. Use SOH (in sohcahtoa), to solve the problem.

sin(36°) = 7/x

x = 7/sin(36°)

x = 11.91

Therefore, the distance between the car and building is 11.91 m.
