It takes 791 horizontal feet for a submarine to submerge 371 feet. What is the angle of depression, to the nearest degree, made by the submarine?
Added by Patrick B.
Step 1
Let's assume that the submarine starts at point A on the surface of the water and submerges to point B at a depth of 371 feet. We can also draw a horizontal line from point A to point C, which represents the distance the submarine travels horizontally to reach Show more…

From the observation deck of a skyscraper, Morgan measures a 67° angle of depression to a ship in the harbor below. If the observation deck is 955 feet high, what is the horizontal distance from the base of the skyscraper out to the ship?Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a foot if necessary.
