from a point on the north rim of the grand canyon, a surveyor measures an angle of depression of 1.3° to a point on the south rim. from an aerial photograph, he determines that the horizontal distance between the two points is 10 miles. how many feet is the south rim below the north rim?

We are give with following
Angle of depression - 1.3°
Distance between two points - 10 miles

We can calculated the vertical distance between the south rim and the north rim using
tan 1.3° = x / 10
Solving for x
x = 10 tan 1.3°
x = 0.23 miles
