Given :
A boat is located a sea level. A scuba diver is 80 feet along the surface of the water from the boat and 30 feet below the water surface.
A fish is 20 feet along the horizontal plane from the scuba diver and 10 feet below the scuba diver.
To Find :
The slope between the scuba diver and fish.
Solution :
Horizontal distance between diver and fish is 20 feet.
Fish is 10 feet below the scuba diver.
Slope between scuba diver and fish is :
[tex]tan\ \theta = \dfrac{10}{20}\\\\tan\ \theta = 0.5[/tex]
Therefore, the slope between the scuba diver and fish is 0.5 .
