Draw a picture to represent each situation, then use angles of elevation or depression to find the missing value. Standing on a 35-meter-high cliff, you look down on your friend who is standing on the flat ground in front of the cliff. The angle of depression along the line of sight from you to your friend is 65 degrees. How far away from the base of the cliff is your friend? (be sure to label your units)
