Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. a bird caught a fish on the waters surface and flew in a straight line diagonal to the water for 100 yards. then, it dropped the fish straight down. the fish landed at a spot 50 yards away horizontally from the point where the bird caught it. the bird flies at an angle of degrees from the water, and its height from the ground when it drops the fish is yards.

The angle of depression of the fish from the given height to the bottom of the lake is 60° .

The bird caught the fish at site A, flew it 100 yards to location B, and then dropped it off at location C. (which is horizontally 50 yards from A).

The right angled triangle BAC is equal to the length of the perpendicular and base .

The angle the bird creates with the water piques our interest (horizontal). This angle is BAC. We can claim to be knowledgeable about the "hypotenuse" and "adjacent" side of the right triangle to angle BAC. Since the cosine relationship between the hypotenuse and its neighbors exists, we can write:

cos BAC = 50/100

BAC = cos ⁻¹ 1/2

BAC = 60 °

Here, our goal is to determine the length (distance) of segment BC. We can say that BC is "opposite" to the angle BAC, which we discovered to be 60 degrees. The hypotenuse is known to be 100. So let's utilize sine since sine is the ratio of the hypotenuse's opposite.
