Answer:

8.5 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The set up will give a right angles triangle;

Given

The height of the ramp (opposite) = 6 foot

distance away along the ground = 40 feet (adjacent)

Required

Angle of depression theta

Using the TOA identity;

tan theta = opposite/adjacent

tan theta = 6/40

tan theta = 0.15

theta = tan^-1{0.15}

theta =8.53 degrees

hence the angle of depression to nearest tenth of a degree is 89.5 degrees
