Problem 16 a. RECREATION While riding on a roller coaster at an amusement park, passengersclimb at a 45° angle along 418 feet of track in order to reach the highest point of the ride. Once atthe top, they plunge down 300 feet of track. What is the angle of depression of the roller coaster?Draw a diagram. Notice that the angleof depression is congruent to ZBCAby alternate interior angles.Angle ofdepression418 ft300 ft45°C

We have to find the angle of depression.
