The Seattle Space Needle is 605 feet tall. If you are looking down from the top of the Space Needle at your teacher's shoes, how far away from the base of the Space Needle is your teacher standing in feet? You know the angle of depression is 65°

Answer:
282.12 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Please find attached a graphical illustration of the question
We are given the value of the opposite side and we are to determine the value of the adjacent side. Thus, tan would be used
Tan 65 = opposite / adjacent
2.1445 = 605 / x
x = 605 / 2.1445
x = 282.12 ft
