Solve the problem.You are sitting in a classroom next to the wall looking at the blackboard at the front of the room. The blackboard is 13 ft long and starts 3 ft from the wall you are sitting next to. Show that your viewing angle is ? = cot-1  - cot-1 .

What will be an ideal response?


The angle ? made between the ground and the top of the blackboard is equal to cot-1 . The angle ? - ? made between the ground and the bottom of the blackboard is equal to cot-1 . Therefore ? - (? - ?) = ? = cot-1  - cot-1
