Suppose that Maria and carlos are making measurements for the road-paving crew. They need to know how much the land slopes downward along a particular stretch of road. maria walks 80 feet from carlos and holds up a long pole, perpendicular to the ground, that has markings every inch along it. maria looks at the pole through a sighting instrument. Looking straight across, parallel to the horizon, maria sights a point on the pole 50 inches above the ground- call it point A. Then maria looks through the instrument at the bottom of the pole, creating an angle of depression. Which is the angle of depression or slope of the road, to where maria is standing?
