Two birds sit at the top of two different trees. the distance between the first bird and a birdwatcher on the ground is 30 feet. the distance between the birdwatcher and the second bird is 43 feet. what is the angle measure, or angle of depression, between this bird and the birdwatcher? round your answer to the nearest tenth.

34.9°
44.2°
45.8°
55.1°

44.2°

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the angle x.  We know the side opposite of the angle (30 feet) and the hypotenuse (43 feet).  So we should use sine.

sine = opposite / hypotenuse

sin x = 30 / 43

x = 44.2°

Notice that the hypothenuse is 43 feet long and the opposite leg to angle is 30 feet.

So, we can find the angle using the sine function,

Therefore, the right answer is the second choice.
