Attached to this response is a hand-drawn diagram

Answer:

12.84°

Explanation:

To determine the Angle of Depression, we calculate it using a trigonometric function or ratio. The appropriate trigonometric function to use as shown in the diagram is Sine

sin θ = Opposite side / Hypotenuse

θ = Angle of Depression

Opposite side = Height = 200 feet

Adjacent side = Distance from the observer to the flying bird = 900 feet

sin θ = 200 feet / 900 feet

θ = sin-¹ (2/9) or arcsin(2/9)

θ = 12.839588407°

Approximately 12.84°

Thus, the Angle of Depression measures 12.84°

Leya [7781]

Answer:

"IT MATTERS NOT WHAT SOMEONE IS BORN BUT WHAT THEY GROW TO BE" – J.K. ROWLING, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

This quote means a person's beginnings, whether impoverished or disadvantaged, do not dictate their future achievements or position of power. Similarly, one born with illness can still become a champion athlete, and vice versa.

Being born with advantages doesn’t guarantee an easy life; struggles affect everyone regardless of their start.

Examples include:

Jay Gatsby in The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

Okonkwo in Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe

Which sentence in this excerpt from Patrick Henry's famous "liberty or death" speech at the Second Virginia Convention in 1775 e
Bond [7527]

Answer: We have made requests; we have expressed our grievances; we have appealed; we have humbled ourselves before authority, and have beseeched it to intervene and stop the oppressive actions of both the ministry and Parliament.

This statement effectively illustrates how the colonists sought to avert war. Patrick Henry contends that the colonists attempted to address the situation through peaceful means first. Despite their efforts, including petitions and appeals, their requests were completely overlooked, and the situation remained unchanged. As a result, he concludes that there is no longer hope for reconciliation, and they must engage in battle to safeguard their freedom.
