Question

. If they set up their camera 322 meters from the base of the mountain and the mountain is 597 meters high, what angle should he point his camera from the horizantal.

Answer 1

Explanation:

The position of the camera forms a right angle triangle. The horizontal distance from the base of the mountain represents the opposite side of the triangle while the height of the mountain represents the adjacent side of the triangle. To determine the angle, # that he should point his camera from the horizontal, we would apply the tangent trigonometric ratio which is expressed as

Tan # = opposite side/adjacent side

Tan# = 597/322 = 1.85

# = Tan^-1(1.85)

# = 61.61°

Answer 2

the angle required for them to point their camera to the horizontal should be at 61.66°

Explanation:

Given that the base of the camera is 322 meters from the horizontal and the height is 597 meters.

We can use the tangent of the trigonometric equation.

tan θ = opposite / adjacent

tan θ = 597/322

tan θ = 1.854

θ = tan⁻¹ (1.854)

θ = 61.66°

Hence, the angle required for them to point their camera to the horizontal should be at 61.66°
