The angle of depression from the basketball hoop to Claire's eyes is 9.2°. The vertical distance from the ground to Claire's eyes is 5.6 feet. Using the diagram, find the height of the basketball hoop to the nearest tenth.

we will isolate that right triangle marked off with the little angle thing.

We know that, in that right triangle, one of the legs measures 22 ft, and the angle (adjacent) to it, meausres 9.2 degreesIn this case, tan9.2 = x/22 where x is that unkown length

cross multiply.

your final answer is equal to x+5.6
