A robot is on the surface of Mars. The angle of depression from a camera on the robot to a rock on the surface of Mars is 13.7 degrees. The camera is 183 cm above the surface of the planet. How far from the camera is the rock? Express your answer in meters to three decimal places.

Solution

tan alpha = height /distance
tan 13.7 =183/distance
distance =183/tan 13.7

=183/0.243

753.08 cm

Thank you
