As Juliet stands 15 feet off the ground on her balcony, she spots Romeo in this distance, standing at the ground level. She uses her angle-measuring device and finds that his position is 3 degree from the horizontal (that is, the angle of depression is 3 degree.) To the nearest foot, how far away is Romeo from base of her balcony?

    Let Romeo's distance from the base be x, then

    tan 3° = 15/x

    x = 15/tan 3° = 15/0.0524 = 286 feet

    Therefore, Romeo is 286 feet from the base of the balcony.
